holy cow.. you guys are so great. thank you sooooo much! i will have an update when i get back home today. i was able to put a budget desktop together and even used the harddrive from my laptop to save money.. so the good news is that im back online, and you guys definitely made it possible! thank you thank you thank

crap, sorry i havent updated this :(

ok, i bought a mini tower case on sale for $50
intel core2 duo e6850 3.0ghz for $120
cpu came combo'd with $30 cheap motherboard (probably should get a decent one someday, but i dont care right now, haha)
heatsink for $20
evga nvidia geforce 8400 gs for $40
2gb ram for $40
dlink wireless card $30
sata cables $5
card reader $5

i used my laptop's harddrives (luckly they were sata drives) and mounted them in the tower, put all the parts together and i already had a USB keyboard/mouse and a 20in LCD monitor so I was able to get a decent budget computer out the door and setup for about $350.

thanks again to everyone who helped make it possible, especially billy and tex.  [beerchug] beers on me if i ever make it across the pond! :)

Awesome Chip  ;D

Sorry I couldn't help with moneys, but if you ever do come across the pond, be sure to drop a bell!

Way to go Chip  ;D just as a matter of interest, which antivirus program are you going to install?
