The Hewlett Packard 932c is an excellent printer if you are going the deskjet route. You can pick one up for about $195 dollars right now. Check

I just built the following
Abit SE6 Motherboard
PIII 600EB
128MB PC-133 RAM
Enlight ATX Mid-Tower Case
Generic 3.5 Floppy
Generic 48X CD-ROM
US Robotics 56k PCI Fax/Modem
Western Digital 13 Gigabyte Hard Drive
I already had the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. All of that cost me only $750. So, if you add back in the monitor ($300), printer ($200), keyboard ($30), and mouse ($15), you are only up to around $1300. I would spend the extra $200 on a graphics card. The Abit was a great mobo to install...it's jumperless. That particular mobo has on board sound and video. I can eventually disable those on board functions if I want to upgrade the sound or video. It does ok with what it has now though. It ain't exactly tearing up Quake (I can't see EVERY drop of blood) but it works pretty good.
