By the time you buy the required power supply, you will find that you
can buy a power supply in a case cheaper in most cases. Nothing
stopping you from buying the new barebones with a case, then taking
out the PS and throw away the new case.
There are lots of places to buy components. Some price "barebones"
systems. Many of the tigerdierct barebones systems are a set of
components for a complete computer, less OS. I had trouble 10 years
ago with a computer bought tiger. The only way it ever got resolved
was when I made the CC Company do a chargeback. Never got a working
computer from them, but did get the money back. I am less afraid to
buy barebones or components from them. Tiger does email out some
good deals on barebones kits.
Newegg and OWC have better customer service.
is tiger direct the best place these days to get a bare bone? I
have always build my own computers but this last time I just bought
this cheap emachine deal. I have the system less the hard drive
from my system before, its a big server type case but I suppose I
could put a new board in it and use that system. Only thing though
is I am not sure the power supply has the proper connection for
those new style (sata?) hard drives.

Bzzt! emachine often use oddball cases. it may not be compatible
with standard components. Tigerdirect also has "barebones" systems
for pretty good prices.
Might be cured with a pci video card, but may be other motherboard problems.
