The two Athlon mp prcessors running at 1400 mhz will be around 500$ And the rest of the components will not be more than 400$ so the total: 1450$ The prices in Denmark where i live are ridiculesly low, that might have to be taken into concideration, i don't know the prices in other countries though.
