Actually 51 I did! I bought me an asus board, 3 gig intel cpu, 256mb asus vid card, 1 stick of ddr2 ram (that is screwed), a new case, new 19 inch lcd moniter, lg 16 speed dual layered dvd burner, its nice! I put it together by myself, and after getting through some minor important questions, it went really well! I am taking the stick of ram back as soon as I can, and I will try to post a picture or two of it, cuz she looks real neat

Actually I am not surprised that you had a tough time finding one 51. I dont know if I ever have seen one! As for video card, yeah I got a nice one! 256 mb pci express. Fom I paid 327 bucks for it at otv technologies in stoon. It was the cheapest one I could find with fast response times!

They made CRT monitors up 24"! but you'd probally have to order it from the states. In grade 6 my teacher had a 21" monitor. 
Heres the computer I build in December:
AMD Athlon 3200+ 2.0G
Gigabyte GA-K8N51PVMT-9 (it's actually a HTPC motherboard so it has high definition sound and HDTV video output!)
2x 512 mb Samsung PC-3200 Dual Channel
Onboard Nvidia 6150 video card (plan on adding a video card in the fall)
Seagate 80gb SATA hard drive (I had this from my last computer)
MSI TV@nywhere tv capture card (it was cheap and it came with a remote. I can now shutdown my computer with a remote
)
OCZ Modstream 450w modular PSU
and I guess my 21" Turbogamer X-Alien case (Here's a LINK but mines silver. I've found out they don't make it anymore)

I'm getting ready to build one myself, It has...
Asus a8n32-sli delux
Two evga 7500 gtx vid cards in sli mode(one does the top half, the other the bottom half of the screen.)
2 sticks of 512 ram
1 seagate barracuda 80 gig drive for windows only
1 seagate barracuda 100 gig for programs and files
1 seagate barracuda 100 gig for gaming and movies
dual layer dvd burner
dvd/cd player
amd athalon 64 x2 dual core 4400 proccesor w/water cooling
For a case im still looking, but kinda looking at a cooler master aluminium.
I plan to buy most of it online at ncix. I like the availability of cbit in saskatoon, but if you have ever tried to return something there, you will understand why im buying online.

That's a pretty sweet system but costs a pretty penny! I've had great service with NCIX as I've built 4 systems from them.

Its an
asus A7v mo board
one 20 gig hard drive for win xp
an 80 gig drive for games and music
amp xp 1800 proccesor, Runs @ 1555
Two stick's kingston 512 ram
Cd burner and cd player.
cheap old generic atx case.
It has on board sound, but it doesnt have a souround port form my new speakers, so they sit on my ceiling....dead.
With windows vista in the works, it wont be long untill everyone is going to want a 64 bit system. It a lot like running 98 instead of xp. Sure 98 works good, but xp is do damn simple to use.
