It's nice and quiet, takes a video card and a 2nd PCI card, and can hold a 3.5" disk (250Gb in our case) and also has 5-1/4 CDROM/DVD/whatever drive slot. Really awesome and easy.

You can buy a bare bones box at newegg.com and build it exactly how you want. I built an AMD 64 3000+, with 2GB RAM, 300GB HD and an ATI Radeon 9600XT, for under 1K.

The problem is I have no idea which AMD chip to get. The price of AMD chips have a larger price Δ then Intel chips, so I can't just pick the most pricey one like I did in the 7000 series.
