$894, you can build a very nice system for that. I built my MicroATX system for $750.

4GB of G.Skill DDR2-800

250GB Hard drive

Sapphire 2600XT 256mb (you can get the 512MB for the same price now)

AMD 4800+ X2 Brisbane

Sapphire Pure Element AMD 690G chipset motherboard

Coolermaster Centurion micro case

Hyper 530W power supply

Lite-On 18x DVD burner

Built this about 2-3 months ago, came to $760 total after shipping. It can handle Oblivion at 35-50FPS at medium-high settings, handles EQ2 at 35-45 FPS with max settings, handles Empire at War at 170FPS at max settings, 40FPS in large scale capital ship battles. With the 512mb version you would see larger numbers. But for $150 and the new 7.8 drivers the 2600XT is one helluva card, the drivers have done wonders for this card, it sucked ass with the 7.6 drivers, I was seeing numbers around 30% of what I get now with the 7.8 drivers.
