All you need to do is buy a cheap case, keyboard, and mouse. This is just a quick thing strictly from Newegg. Didn't do any price comparing or anything becuase I don't really have any time right now. If I get some tiime, I could probably knock close to $100 or so off the price just by comparing to other websites. Also, if you want to know even more off the price, switch out the CPU and motherboard with the following:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Brisbane -- $129.00
http://www.newegg.com/product/Produc...82E16819103776
Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe Socket AM2 nForce 570 SLI -- 132.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131013

This would change your shipped total to $929.83, but the C2D based system will outperform the AMD-based one any day of the week. Enjoy
