ASus/alternative Mobo
1gb RAM
DVD writer
Cabinet+SMPS
SATA HDD (pref 2nos)
I guess the above config is linux compatible
Also is it possible to run old games (Quake2, superbike other dos games)
on the above config.
Thanks

Below is the price list of in Mumbai
Mobo: Asus P5N-E SLI = Rs.8000/-
Proc: C2D-E6300 = Rs.8500/-
RAM: Transcend 1GB 533Mhz = Rs.5000/-
DVD: Lite-on / Sony LG Dual Layer Writer (whatever u fancy) = Rs.2100/-
SATA HDD:
Samsung Barracuda 250GB = Rs.3850/-
Samsung Barracuda 160GB = Rs.3300/-
Samsung Barracuda 120GB = Rs.2850/-
Samsung Barracuda 80GB = Rs.2500/-
Cabinet+SMPS: You can get a decent one for around Rs.2500/- without compromising too much. But I always consider it a compromise when someone does not spend atleast 1600/- for SMPS alone coz that's what a decent SMPS like Powersafe or the likes will cost.
This config is much more than good enough for Linux and as far as gaming is concerned you can not only play "old games (Quake2, superbike other dos games)" but you will also be able to paly most of the latest games released so far at low to medium settings.
