I've been very happy with this motherboard; this slightly newer one seems very similar. You can get a good dual-core processor for under $70. The board doesn't have a lot of expansion slots, but with onboard video and ethernet, 5 SATA connections (4 RAID), 4 USB ports (plus headers for 4 more), plus HDMI, Firewire and e-SATA ports, how many do you need?

This week, you can get a 1TB hard drive for under a hundred bucks, and 4GB of quality DDR2 800 for $91 ($61 after mail-in rebate).
