I just built an awesome duron system for <$500.  I gave it to my mom

I'm a big AMD fan; the stuff works and is _always_ cheaper than Intel.
Avoid the super-cheap crap mobos; they will give you trouble with
linux (this is true irrespective of whether it is an AMD or Intel
mobo).

  We are all agreed that your theory is crazy.  The question which
  divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of
  being correct.  My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough.
