I am starting a dj business, i would like to make a comptuer strictly for running music. I am open to all suggestions, but would like to go down the amd 64 socket 939 road because that is what my main rig is. I have $300 to spend as i said above, and don't need a super expensive sound card. I have a case and cd/dvd burner drive. I would need everything else. Is this possible? If not how close can i get?

What he said, the cheapest AMD64 is about $120ish...with motherboard and PSU and HDD and etc...you'll barely make it.

It is possible, I built one for someone that came to 280 from Newegg.
Off the top of my head it was something like:
Celeron (775) 2.66
Cheapest MB w/on board video
Cheapest 256 MB memory
Cheapest 80GB HD
Cheapest CDRW
Cheap case w/ power supply

I still say build your own. I looked on dell and found this as their cheapest desktop:
Same CPU and HD but has a DVDRW and 256 MB more memory for $250 more than the above system. It's $550 AFTER 100 MIR so it's $650

You wouldn't be able to play games on it, but yes I think you could. You'd have to look around for some deals.

$300? Yes, it is, but s939 is asking too much. The board and processor alone would bring you to $250 easy.
When you say "running music" on your computer do you mean simply playing it, or composing and editing on it?
In any event, the only way you can go is used, and probably 32-bit, and you can easily make one and still be under budget.

This is what I would do (prices from Newegg.com):
Sempron64 2600+: $63
Gigabyte MATX s754 Onboard Vid: $63
512mb Corsair Value: $50
Seagate Barracuda 250gb: $120
Comes out to just under $300. I put the large drive in because I figured you might want the space for storing music. Not too bad, IMO.

You forgot the sound card, unless it's crappy intergrated audio.
then have fun with this

MUCH better than integrated. It's 7 dollars and all those items already cost $296 together without shipping.
