How about two system configs, one amd and the other intel.

Whoever can make it the cheapest in 2 weeks, virtually, wins.

Configs?

Well, maybe we should do something more along the lines of a gaming rig though.

Am I disqualified as a supplier, since I can supply to myself at a discount?

Maybe, but it requires personal favors...

Ok, how about you just tear this thing (thrown together example) down and go from there. Someone else can do an Intel system.

Crucial
10% off, free shipping, note that they occasionally have 15% or 20% off online coupons.
256MB PC2700 $88.19

Newegg
free shipping
Gigabyte GA-7VAX $89, + $4 shipping
Western Digital 800JB, $117
AMD ATHLON XP 2400 (2 Ghz), OEM, $193
GAINWARD/CARDEXPERT GeForce 4 Ti 4200, 3.3ns, 64MB DDR. Golden Sample, $152
Antec SX630II, 300W psu, $89
Lite On 48x12x48 CDRW, retail, $57.99
TOSHIBA 16X DVD-ROM, $46
CTX 17" Monitor, retail, Dot Pitch .27, 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz 1024 x 768 @ 85Hz 800 x 600 @ 110Hz, $125

$961, tried to stay under a grand to start.

I have the monitor, not that great for gaming, but a cheap start. I'd get another case and PSU if it was me (didn't want to eat the shipping charge in my example). I'd buy memory when it was 15-20% off.

Something a gamer could use, not too much, not too little. I guess I just threw that other rig out so that people could tear at it.
