You are correct, nekollx.  The motherboard mentioned in the article is no longer available at Newegg, and neither is the one listed in Best of the Best, so which mobo is the best choice?  The optical drive is out of stock at Newegg, the 1 GB version of the mentioned videocard is $149.99 while the 512 MB version of the card is $70 more.  I am uner the impression that the NZXT Tempest case was better than the Antec 900 and is just as inexpensive, the RAM listed retails for $95 at the cheapest at Newegg, and the cheapest DDR2 RAM is almost $70 at Newegg.  The author(s) of this article really need to go back and update their parts list for the low budget dream machine.  Plus, WHERE IS THE SOUND CARD?

WAAH!  WAAH!  WAAH!  Quit whining.  So what if the Dream Machine doesn't cost $10,00+ this year?  The idea was to see how much dream machine they could get for varying budgets.  We ARE in some economically lean times now.  I myself would love to be able to build the sub-700 machine, all I need is the $$.

Disbarred means he cannot PRACTICE law, it does  not mean he cannot file a lawsuit on  his own behalf through another lawyer.

 Indeed, this fucktard REALLY needs to get over his hatred of "murder simulators", settle down with a good woman and a pint of Guinness, and SHUT THE HELL UP!!

THANK YOU!! FINALLY, a post I can relate to with regards to this article.  I rock Windows because it is all I ever learned, plus I am a gamer.  Still, maybe one day I will be able to get a Mac and learn that OS, and also maybe I will learn Linux and see if I can play WoW on it too (I know that there is a Mac version of WoW).

Will I still be unable to see how big the folders are? It would be cool to be able to do so without having to install another app.

In tribute to all the hottie cosplayers out there, and may Ron Simmons forgive me (look him up on wikipedia.org if you don't get it), I can only say one thing:

 DAMN!!
