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.
