Continued... I'm used to AMD so I'm using that.
Micro ATX AMD Motherboard for 84 dollars. It has onboard audio, but couldn't find a board that doesn't have onboard audio. But you can just disable that and the onboard video in the BIOS, having a backup in case your sound card or video card isn't working.
CORSAIR 2 x 1 GB memory for 219$. Fairly fast, and probally good for gaming since that seems like what you're going to use it for.(Also with 40 dollar mail-in rebate!)
About 600$ left to spend on stuff... let's go with the case, CD drives, and power supply next.
COOLER MASTER aluminum case for 46 dollars. Fans not included, though, so need to buy those seperatly. Nice and small, so should be easy to carry this to any LAN parties, and Fyron will like that it's not a very flashy case...
Evercool 120 mm fan for 10 dollars, which is for the front.
Evercool 80 mm fan for 20 dollars for both fans, still superquiet. Plus, non-flashy.
