Heya, just researching prices

Is this a good deal?
http://www.gearxs.com/gearxs/product_info.php?products_id=4673{3}27{6}41{2}64

$119 shipped for a Biostar board with a 2600+ XP-M

ive got a spare 512mb stick of PC2700, Can get her a DVD drive cheap no problem, other than that its just a case I think..

Thats putting the cost at $150 plus case.. is newegg still ok for cheap cases shipped?

If you're looking for a cheap case, you might want to check this one out

AMS CF-2229BK

It's well made an not sup3r l33t r0x0r like so many cheap cases are. Just need to pick up a cheap power supply.

In terms of cases I was looking at:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811156167

I know its no Antec/Enermax PSU, but from what I recall Raidmax wasnt that bad? and at $45 shipped I'll live.

All I know was that my raidmax 350w wouldn't boot my system, so I sold it and it worked :Q

Mobo/cpu combo is good.
Newegg's shipping for case is too high. Shop elsewhere - look for a cheap antec case w/o psu and a good psu (fortron/seasonic/enermax)

Wow,

a

Intel Celeron D 325 Prescott 533MHz FSB Socket 478 Processor Model BX80546RE2533C - Retail

and a

Im having trouble finding anything comparable to a 2600+ Mobile though.. I wish I could just buy it for $80 like it used to go for, then spend $65 on an Abit NF7-M... Why does Newegg (nor anyone else) carry those two anymore?
