Tiger direct has a sale on a barebones that includes

"PCChips A13G+ v3.0 Motherboard - Qty: 1

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.20GHz OEM - Qty: 1

Power Up Black ATX Mid-Tower Case - Qty: 1

US Modular 1024MB PC4200 DDR2 - Qty: 1

450 watt psu"

Whats nice is the motherboard seems to support dual core amds it seems so if you wanted to buy a cheap dual core processor and a new video card you can get a decent computer for pretty cheap. There are limitations such as only 2 ram slots but its $150 with a $50 worth of mail in rebates making it about $100.

Just ahead up if anyone was thinking about making a new computer for decent gaming for cheap

Edit: If you search for the board on newegg it says it supports up to 4gb of ram too so you'd just have to get 2 2gb sticks to do it.

do these barebone kits come assembled? That would save me a lot of time and hassle if so and then I can just install the drives.

All the ones I've come across are built up as far as they can go meaning if theres no harddrive or whatever obviously that isn't installed but harddrive, etc. is. I don't know for certain though since I haven't dealt too much with barebone systems, but even if it isn't it's not a hard process to do but from what I've seen at least they usually are.
