I've been using the MSI KT4VL lately.  We sell them for <$100.

Any of the 2000+, 2200+, or 2400+ are decent prices.  I think we're
selling the 2000+ and 2200+ for <$100.  The 2400+ is just a bit over,
as I recall.  There's something like $20-25 difference between each.

I'd probably just go for a plain old 8500LE card.  I think we're
selling those for like $80-85 for a 64MB DDR AGP version.

Should be a fair bit less than that.  We just sold a Athlon XP 2000+
box with a 40GB drive, 256MB RAM, a Radeon 7000, and a 52x24x52 burner
for $550.  If I'm doing my math right, we could go with the 8500LE
card, twice the RAM, and 4 times the hard drive and still build it for
you for around $750.  Going up to a 2400+ might get it right around
$800.  And all that would be in your choice of black or beige case.
(I just received a bunch of *really* nice black cases yesterday...)
