My present to me from Christmas is a new computer. I've just started buying parts for it! But I can only buy a part/pay check
I just got my CPU in! An AMD XP1700 from what I've read and figured out at http://www.overclockers.com should be "over clockable" to 2.0+Ghz! ... for $51.00 from http://www.newegg.com. I also bought a 1yr. Warranty on the CPU for an extra $5.
Yesterday I used a gift card at BestBuy and spent an extra $1.86 on an Antec Cooling Fan/Heatsink for the chip.
I'm planning on Red Hat Linux 8.0 on the new PC.
So far:
CPU - AMD XP1700 - $51.00 New Egg
CPU Warranty - $5.00 New Egg
CPU Cooler - Antec - $1.86 - Best Buy
