Matt, <br>
<br>
that is quite easy for you to find out in your market: You will need
an 1155 motherboard, the cheapest sandy bridge or ivy bridge
processor, and, I guess, 1 GB or RAM. <br>
<br>
I got myself the cheapest dual core celeron with 2GB of RAM, it was
just a little more expensive and could also do HD 720P in CPU. <br>
<br>
I wish good shopping!<br>

I just jumped on newegg on my lunch break and found the cheapest possible components (Always good for a production front end) - ASRock Micro-ATX board, Celeron G530, 2GB of PC3 ram (Hmm, might be the wrong speed), cheap case. Came to $153 before shipping. This looks very promising.<br>
