  2. You could drop that video card down to something like an ATi 4830. The processor can be dropped to an e7400.
  3. You can: 1. drop the sonata case to a $20 case 2. drop the board to a cheap nonoverclocking motherboard 3. drop the processor to E7xxx series 4. drop the graphics card to 4850/4830/9800GT
