I bought a Gigabyte motherboard, 2.4 GHz Celeron, 512 Mb RAM, 80 GB HDD and
ATX case last Monday for about $500.  The rest of the parts (monitor,
CD-ROM drives, etc) I had already.  Put it all together myself with no real
hassles.  Very nice machine and amazingly inexpensive.

Strange.  I was under the impression most recent motherboards had onboard
ethernet.  The socket is normally next to the USB ports on the back.
