Lookin at building myself a new PC, something which will be ok to play some games on 
So far I've got this little spec all lined up, but will take a few months to build, due to the cost of it & also the amount of cash I get from my wages each month!
Antec PlusView 1000AMG Metallic Gray File Server Case - No PSU
Antec TrueBlue 480W PSU
Coolermaster Jet 7 ACB-V83 Cooler (Socket A)
AMD Athlon "Barton" XP3200+ 400FSB (Socket A) CPU - OEM
Abit AN7 nForce2 (Socket A) Motherboard
TwinMOS 1GB (2x512MB) DDR PC3200 Dual Channel Kit
XFX GeForce FX 5950 Ultra 256MB DDR VIVO/DVI
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 Serial ATA 160GB 8MB Cache - OEM
Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop - OEM
Akasa Serial ATA 45cm DAYGLO Blue Data Cable
Akasa Rounded Ultra ATA133/100/66 IDE UV DAY-GLO Cable (0.45m) - Blue
Akasa Rounded Floppy UV DAY-GLO Cable (0.45m) - Blue
Sunbeam Split Wire Loom - Blue
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g)
So far the cost is £963.62 inc VAT, so I'm gona build half of the system in a few weeks when I get paid (Case, PSU, CPU, Mobo & CPU Cooler), then do the rest the month after when I get paid again!
Should be quite a nice system once its all up & running
