[Pc_Support] Suggestions for a $200 barebones? Also, modem recommendations (winders)?

[Damien McKenna]

My father-in-law has asked me to build a $200 barebones system for him.  
He doesn't need to include a copy of Windows in the deal, but it does 
need a case, motherboard, CPU and RAM, which will go with his existing 
drives.  Right now I'm thinking of a simple Socket754/Sempron64 system 
as they seem really cheap.  This is to replace a K6-333 that has driver 
problems (old Via chipset) and really doesn't get used much, hence the 
low investment and low specs.

On NewEgg they have nForce 430 / Geforce 6150 boards for $80, or 6100 
series for $60, then throw a CPU, cheapo case and a stick of RAM in 
there and its about $200.  Any other suggestions?

Also he needs a good modem to go with it, so probably a good PCI card - 
what's good these days, I've not bought one in five years?

Thanks.
