Since I like to play on NewEgg:

https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=3853371&WishListTitle=Ubuntu

This is what I would get if I had $2000 to blow.  4GB of
ram, 1TB of RAID5 space (At least thats what I would do with
the drives).  You can of course raise and lower that
depending on your needs (be careful though, its maxed out on
DDR2 800 ram, if you want more ram you need slower ram).

I've never built this particular system, but I've had good
experience with very similar systems.  So, as ussual,
disclaimers apply to if it will work, but its all intel so
it should work well.

I also included a nice LCD and mouse/keyboard.
