A buddy of mine wants me to help him assemble a new machine for him. He has
a limited budget ($500.00 US), doesn't need a CD ROM or monitor.
Below is my selection of some decent (cheap) components that I have
selected.
POWMAX CP769PL-2 Beige Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case w/ 400 watt PS
$34.50
Leadtek Geforce 6600 128MB DDR PCI-Express x16 Video Card
$109.00
Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JD 80 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive
$68.00
CHAINTECH VNF4/Ultra Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard
Model #: VNF4/Ultra
$99.00
Rosewill 512MB DDR400(PC3200) System Memory
$47.00
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Winchester Socket 939 Processor
$165.00
Total inc'l shipping: $517.48 Just over his budget.
I got a POWMAX case for my family computer & was quite surprised about how
much I like it. I could go for another brand of hard drive & get 160 gig
for not alot more money.
Other than that... opinions?
I am posting this in several newsgroups in the hopes for getting alot of
responses fast as he needs to order these parts ASAP, before his wife
changes her mind!
