Nice deal on that Antec 900 Case too!
Fabulous Price on that WD Velociraptor !!! .
Unfortunately, it was a #*%&# TYPO - When the sale started they changed it to $229 (+ $30 rebate).
[I suspect they floated this "red herring" to get the word out. If so, really cheap tactics by the 'egg]

Yeah, I was going to buy a batch of those for a couple VMWare servers at work, but not at the post-typo price.
I did buy a power supply and an HD2600Pro video card for the wife's PC. About $55 for both after rebates.

Picked up a 1tb WD for $94 and and enclosure for it for $24.
Also a Canon 590 camera for my daughter, 19 inch LCD monitor to replace my 17" LCD in the reloading room and office 2007 for 3 computers for $70.
Also got my Dell Vostro 220 with 20" monitor yesterday. Nice unit.
Take care, bill

Bought the 4 gig of Corsair DDR800 for $14.99 after rebate.
Thanks. Just picked up an 8GB microSDHC Class 6 card for my phone.
I'm amazed at how cheap one can built a PC for nowadays. I was looking at the 1TB drive & Rosewill enclosure (that Bill mentioned) but they were out of the enclosure. What caught my eye was the deal on the AMD 5200+ CPU for $56.00, no shipping costs.
I coupled that with an Asus AMD M/B with 780G chipset for $133 delivered to my door (us TN folks have to pay tax to NewEgg).
I have the rest of the fixin's laying around here. I get to upgrade my 6 year old P4 2.4 to an AMD dual core machine so little!

what did you use to make sure your mobo works with the AMD dual core processor?
I have a P4 2.5 that I want to upgrade.

The spec's page for the mobo and the user reviews. Plus, that series CPU from AMD isn't all that new, it's a 65watt CPU. The 89+ watt models are often the ones you have to watch out for thermal and voltage issues.
Didn't need the headache nor the extra expense, so the 5200+ was chosen.

Got my enclosure and 1 TB SATA drive.
Sweet. I went ahead and hooked up the sata connection on one computer and USB the rest of the computers/laptops.
Very fast, quiet and runs cool. I don't need to run the cooling fan on the drive.
Also the $89 ASUS LCD monitor is fantastic.
I've backed up every computer and laptop with the new system.
Take care, bill

How is the build going? I'm thinking about gutting my AMD Athlon 1100 and going with a new board, the same processor you got, 4GB ram, new SATA hdd, and a new(er) power supply. Figure it will cost about $300 or so.. and I have a better machine than I can go get off the shelf somewhere for less $$

Build went A-OK. 4-1GB DIMMS, Segate HD. Reused the old case & PS with a 20-to-24 pin adapter, and reused the DVD drive. It went smooth as glass. No complaints. 
I put XP on there for the sake of compatibility on a small partition. Since Windows 7 is right around the corner, I'm going to hold off on Vista on this thing and just put Ubuntu 8.10 w/the Edbuntu add-on disk on it with a dual boot.
I figure Windows 7 will arrive by fall '09 at the latest so PC makers can outfit all PC's for Christmas next year with it. I can't see MS dropping the ball on this one as there far too much riding on it coming to market in a timely manner.
