I got most of my stuff from nxsource.com, they had some really good deals on at the time (tigerdirect.ca, ncix.com, and atic.ca have good deals sometimes too). Memory Express had the case for $130 at the time but that was over a year ago. I got an AMD 780G chipset motherboard for $75, AMD 4850e CPU for $65, 2GB of RAM for $60, and just recently got a 1TB HD for $85.
I don't have a blu-ray drive in it at the moment, I just download 720p rips. Hope I didn't mislead anyone...

No, ya didn't mislead me at all! I'm finding it hard to find the balance between enough power and cost - I always want more power! LOL! It's nice to see what others have done and what is working for them. Thanks a lot for posting!
