Id go for the middle of the road E7200 if I had the option.

Thanks, and fixed.
Depends on what you are going to be doing with the machine. In a gaming machine, I would go with at least an E5200. At $84 you can't beat it. The E7200 would a another great pick that you can't go wrong with also. And both should be pretty decent overclockers, too.
For gaming, I would skip anything with less than 2MB of L2 cache on the Intel side. I haven't directly compared the E2180 I have to the E1400, and I don't have the time to actually do it. But I can say the E2180, even with double the L2 of the Celeron, doesn't really perform much better.
If you are building a machine with the primary goal of gaming on it, definitely spend a little more money on at least a mid-range processor. You shouldn't be spending less than $80 on a processor if you plan to play games.

Nice review, you should do these more often! People really underestimate what the e1x00's and e2xx0's can do when overclocked, so it's nice to see a good comparison. It really is like you said it, once you hit ~2.4ghz on these things everything seems to be much, much faster. Past that I can't tell a difference in normal tasks, only in gaming.

Thanks, I would love to get into reviewing CPUs more, but I don't have the time to devote to doing it without getting anything in return, especially when I have to pay for the CPUs myself.

I have a E2180 in a work build that is stock voltage stable at 3.0Ghz but more and it requires move volts, the changeout to a copper core intel stock cooler I had laying around helped but 2.8 is where it was set to run 24/7 damn nice chip.
