I turned a compaq desktop 233mhz I found in the trash into a Athalon AMD 850mhz 258mbram geforce2 52xcd-rom for $300. And sold it for $600.
Its so much cheaper to build your own. I built my freind a comp for $400 thats much better then mine and got most of the parts from the trash on bulk pick-up day.

tip of the day- if you see a computer on the side of the road... crack it open and take the parts. So many people toss out perfectly good ram sticks and video cards. Also take the fans for your overclocked systems.
