885470 2010-05-20 05:43:00 I just built my first pc.
I went for a good quality case and PSU - otherwise pretty basic components.
Main reasons I chose the motherboard were because it had HDMI and integrated graphics.
Pretty quiet system - perfect for everyday usage.

CPU: AMD AthlonX2 DC 250 3.0GHz ($107)
Mobo: Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H 785G ($145)
Case: Lian Li A05N-B ($188)
PSU: Corsair CX 400W ($99)
RAM: Corsair CM2X2048-6400C5 2GB ($88)

Already had SATA HDD, monitor, keyboard etc, so total cost all up was $627.

I also added an LG GH-22LS50 22X Internal SATA DVD for $66. It's one of those lightscribey thingies...

Yeah I think you may be right there. Unfortunately I accidently let iTunes do a firmware update when I had it plugged into my old machine which was running XP. Not so sure there's a jailbreak for the latest firmware out yet.

Ubuntu 10.04 recognises ipod touch/iphone...just haven't played around with it yet to see if it will let me transfer files on and off.
