[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: How about "hide email address from public checked" and it's still visible in all my posts...
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: I'd delete my account on this site, but by the time I realized the problem half the spambots on the planet had it already
[Developer] [Pazza]: Astaldo if you log out and view your profile with a refresh you'll see that your email is hidden.
[Developer] [Pazza]: Your user level on the forums permit you to see emails even though they are marked hidden.

Ok so here it goes.  Spent about 15-20 minutes looking around and figuring out some prices.  I've always said it's not worth building a pc anymore due to them being so cheap, but it's so hard to break old habits.  This is what I cam up with..

CPU:  Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 -                                        about  $104
MB:   MSI P43 Neo 3-F 775 Intel P43 ATX -                         about   $91
Memory: DDR2-800 4gb -                                                 about   $38
Graphics: MSI R4670-2D1G/D3 Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit -   about $80
now the bullshit things...
HDD: SATA 500gb 32mb -                                                   about $52
Power Supply : Chiefmax 650W -                                          about $24
Case - I don't give a shit... atx -                                          about $25
DVI to VGA adapater since my monitor is not dvi.. -                           $3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total minimum of $417

I picked these since they are decent and they are cheap. Yes I can upgrade this and that for 10$ here and 10$ there... but I think it's a happy medium..

< image of absurd specs >

There is a flaw in that build though (lothaer's, not Nacho's), WoW does not support SLI, so the dual cards are pointless.

It does however support Crossfire.
You'd also save about $24k going with one of these over the 'BEAST'.

In all seriousness though Nacho, check out the DogHouse Podcast. It's not some infomercial about their computers or anything, but some great discussions on tech and gaming (plus a couple of the guys are in my guild). Really good info if you're looking into building a gaming rig, or just a good PC.
