I've built 2, one for me, one for my mom. Mine is AMD 4850e, 4gig ram, nVidia 7300. Mom's is similar with AMD 5200.

Incidentally, I converted mom, and she LOVES Ubuntu, and she'll never go back.

Did mine a couple months ago. Specs below, + 32 inch HDTV monitor. Aside from the HDD's and case I purchased everything new. And set up Raid0 for the first time (was easy).

Xubuntu in next room, old Dell P4 system with the HDD from my old Imac runs nice for watching tv shows, or just tinkering with networking.
