If I've said this once, I've said it about 1,000 times.

It's officially time for me to update my computer. I'm just pricing at the moment and I want to find the cheapest desktop Core i5 750 available(Which I have heard is supported by the vanilla kernel with 10.6.2 and above, please correct me if I am wrong).

The computer needs to have a supported graphics card whether native or by kext support, atleast 1GB of RAM, preferably 2GB, a supported Ethernet port and a supported sound system(Just line out for sound, I can live without line in). WiFi is not a necessity.

I plan on going for a retail install with chameleon for a bootloader.
