for building a computer w/o monitor your looking @ least $1000 USD

CPU: 64 bit dual core
motherboard look for one pci x1 (gigabit ethernet) and pc x16 (vid card)

also, DO NOT GO CHEAP ON THE CASE, I learned the hard way. bought one for $30 with a 550 W power supply, that freaking case gave me homicidal urges. the freaking pci opening didn't fit all the cards. I had to get a plier to "loosen it up", it had a cheap ass locking mechanism for said pci. I had to cut one of the mounts on my vid card because it got in the way of the lock. motherboard mount was freaking soft that it kept bending when trying to secure that mobo to it, finally got pissed and got me a (i think overpriced) antec case, now that was solid!!!! All the screws and cards fit nice and snug.
