    MY recommendation, one for an AMD rig, one for Intel

    AMD:
    EPoX EP-8RDA3+
    Athlon XP 2500+ Barton

    Intel:
    Asus P4P800 Deluxe
    Pentium 4 2.4c (800FSB)

    Then I'd use these with either setup,
    Twin 512mb Corsair/Kingston/OCZ/Buffalo Technologies PC3200 RAM (any of those brands is decent)

    Then a Western Digital 120GB 8mb cache drive (SE)

    Then just the regular CD-RW or whatever, and a case etc

      If you want to play games also get a good 3d card like a ATI 9600 Pro or better, if not you should look for a workstation card, check compatibility with the cad programs you want to use!
      Im thinking about a matrox, 3Dlabs or something like it!
      What programs will you be using??
