I built my Mythbuntu box from new equipment about 18 months ago (sans used
pvr150 cards) for under $300 fairly easily.... c2duo, 2gb of ram, 500gb
drive, hdmi, etc.

But -- just to throw my two cents into the conversation...

Unless you plan on running emulators, you're prolly better off with a PS3.
 You get a lot of ability for a reasonable price, and less 'fucking with it'
compared to a PC.  Also, if you're the insistent-on-linux type, a hack to
install linux on the latest firmware has already been released.
