Limited Budget Build

[Istonian]

I have a friend wanting to build a new computer. We already have a case, psu, cd drives, floppy drive, 256 mb pc2700 ram (we need 512 mb total), and that is it. We need a mobo and processor, another 256 mb stick, and a hard drive. Here is the catch. He only has $125 dollars. The only thing we could leave out is a hard drive.

Well there is cheap RAM I wouldn't be able to recommend a good MB/CPU for that price range because I am not sure of any on the ones I was looking at.

Hmmm.... I guess I can skimp on the hard drive and he can use a 20 gig for now. Might need a video card too. I don't know how this is gonna work. Well maybe just get one running then upgrade.
