here's what I'm doing.. my 13 yr old boys built this, and they're learning about computers, how to build and repair them.

I don't know much about them myself, what I'm doing is teaching them how to run a business by letting them buy used parts and putting them together

and you said a 128mb minimum.. but then you said that's considered low end.. tell me one that would be impressive but not so costly it would be out of range for the average person
I can't argue with that, keep it up

I good card, decently priced, would probably be around the range of a geForce FX 5900 (256mb). They run for about $200-$280. The high-end cards are running at over $550 (geForce 6800 Ultra
)

I also recommend the geForce Ti series cards, they are low priced and powerful.

I would also avoid buying old harddrives, especially if they are Western Digital. You can pick up brand new 160GB Seagate drives for ~$100, so 50GB of drives that will most likely crash and burn (literally) within a couple weeks is no good.

I had to start one more sentence with "I"
