I need a custom mid-range PC. I DO NOT want to invest in appearance,  
bragging rights, or the latest and greatest technology. Please recommend  
BRANDS/MODELS for reliable bargain components available at Newegg.com or  
other good online dealers. The system needs the following:
 
-low-noise case and an Athlon64-compatible PSU
-Athlon64 3x00 CPU (not significantly slower than the next expensive 3x00)
-CPU fan significantly better than the stock
-motherboard (preferably Asus) w/ integrated ethernet + decent sound
-512 MB PC3200 RAM
-8x NVIDIA video card capable of playing modern games like Doom 3 at  
medium or higher quality and preferably Linux-compatible
 
*Also, can anyone recommend any online dealers that always ship quality  
barebones?
