450-500 is pretty small, not enough to build a full system, tell us what you have now and we can offer upgrade suggestions.

I have a system with a PIII oc'd to @1.8 with a 3DFX VooDoo 5500 card in it. I was about to list it for sale either as a whole system or just the ASUS CUSL2 (something like that) mobo, ram, cpu, video card combo...
Take the combo for $250 or the whole box for $325.
I'll have to check how much ram and what size hard drive it has don't rememeber right off hand. Taking the whole box would add a power supply, creative 52x cd rom, hard drive, case, SoundBlaster livegamer card, lan card and a floppy.
Makes a fine D3 box.

Sorry I took so long.
It looks like it would be around $15 for FedEx ground and up to $60 for second day air....
I'll pay the insurance, don't know what that will run but probably not much.
If you're interested let me know.
I also have a
blue and white G3 that I was going to gut and build a watercooled windows machine in it just for grins but probably should just sell it.
It's a 400mhz system, it comes with OS X but it can't run the latest version, it's restricted to OS X a few generations back...
Kids like the Mac experience but it is an old, slow machine compared to the new Mac stuff. It does have an ATI Rage 128 video card in it, it will run D3 but not at a competitive level for an experienced player.
I don't know what the Mac is worth but I'm not looking to make a big buck off of it....just looking to supplement my new PC building budget.
