I don't know if that is possible especially if you don't have the monitors.

Here is a very general breakdown of what think it would cost:

CPU\Motherboard - $120 minimum (this would be a fairly low end CPU)
Memory - For 4GB you are probably looking at around $100
Case - $50-100
Video Card - $100
Sound Card - (won't need if motherboard has integrated sound)
Monitors - $100 a piece

Sorry, should have mentioned that too.

I have 2 20" LCD monitors already.

Just need the CPU built.

And I could go a bit above $400. Just trying to keep it in that neighborhood since I have already bought the monitors, hard drive and DVD burner.
