Hmmm, hows about this:
$35 - 1.3GHz Duron
$41 - SocketA Motherboard, onboard Audio & LAN cards
$33 - 256MB PC2100 DDR-RAM
$35 - Geforce 2 MX
$70 - 40GB 7200RPM Western Digital Caviliar
$20 - Midi Tower case
That comes to $234, which is over the budget, though you could squeeze that down by getting SD-RAM instead of DDR-RAM, and a smaller hard-drive, but that depends on how flexible your budget is...

SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM EV SPAMMED That wasn't spam, it was a funny joke.  Thusa, those prices are from ebuyer.com which doesn't have a great reputation over in Britain, but does have decent prices. As for building a computer, no it isn't hard (says the person who hasn't actually built one :miffed:) because all the bits just slot together really. It might be best if you know a techy/geeky person that would be willing to help to ask them, but if not then there are plenty of websites with helpful hints and stuff. |

Talking about pc's, how much could i get a 2.5ghz, 512k, 40gb pc for? You mean a base unit comprising of Athlon 2500, 512MB DDR RAM and a 40GB HDD? Shouldn't be more than £400 for a basic system. Decent gpu, monitor, mouse, etc will add a couple of hundred onto that. |

http://www.pcmech.com/byopc/index.htmi was lookin around a bit and stumbled onto this website...this guy seems to know what hes talking about more or less...although...since i dont really have the choice of buying online (im 15 w/o a credit card) im going to have to look around for the cheap parts that i need...i might be able to get my grandfather (he buys mad stuff online) to buy it and i will pay him back cash, which sounds like a good idea from my point of view...i still need to find someone to oversee this whole operation of mine who has a good knowledge of computers and is willing to share it...

Yes I am [/bigheaded] But I'm also only online, and building a computer really needs someone there in person. You willing to pay fares for flights to the US and back? |
