Thanks guys... I went ahead with a Newegg order. I got an Athlon 64X2/3800, 4G DDR2
800 RAM, 2 SATA 250GB Seagate drives, Asus M2R32-MVP Socket AM2, and a decent 500W
power supply.  Just need a case now, which I'll get from the MarketPro show next
week.

I'm planning to put FC7 on it, or possibly CentOS if it comes out soon enough after
RH5.
