Assembled a new desktop with the following spec
AMD Athlon x2 BE-2400 CPU $29.99
Foxconn A7GM-S 780G uATX MB $66.99
2G Ram from existing server
In Win uATX desktop case $59.99
320 GB SATA Maxtor HD from existing server
Samsung 22x SATA DVD-RW Burner and CPU Heatsink & Fan from Microcenter $44.88

This is mainly used to connect to my LCD TV for media center purpose since I want to watch slingbox, mlb.tv and other videos on big screen. The only complaint I have is it's a bit noisy, else it runs just fine with Windows Vista Ultimate. It can also output audio through HDMI so one less cable needed. So far fairly satisfied with it as a low power consiumption, low cost media center.
