You need to do some editing!!

So hard to read..


Do it in my format http://www.nerdnations.com/bbs/showt...p?threadid=295


But i took off the - $price at the end...

[PyroSama]

How's that?

[iNeb]

Look's good but i am building a great system for under 800$

two great systems for $1500~, but mine is minus the monitors.


No case? You want DVD? Using the stock HSF? Onboard sound? No keyboard / mouse? $75 for a 30GB hard drive is pricey...

[PyroSama]

Well I have a dvd-rom already floppy drive aswell. I have 70dollars instore credit at a local computer shop that I will get a new hsf with, Im going to do some reasearch today on other computer sites for cheaper stuff. I also have a cordless optical memorex mouse I would use and I nice black keyboard.

Pyro
Looks nice but (Please don't take this the wrong way) some of the pricing seems a tad high.
$75.00 for a 30 gig maxtor is to much to pay.
Have you looked at Doc's steals and deals.
You can pick up the new Maxtor 80Gig / 8Meg Buffer drive for around $20.00 more than the 30Gig / 2MB Buffer.
You may not need the room now but it is well worth the xtra $20.00

Yes pricing is high.

You can find real good deals on cd-rw and hard drives.

Go for the 8 mb drive due to the faster speed also.

If you're not going to use the stock HSF than buy OEM it'll be cheaper.

Are you getting a gig of ram? I don't see it being needed. Just get a 512

I just saw a KDS 19" flatscreen at walmart for $188

[PresterJohn]

ditto, many of the peripherals can be had for cheaper with some shopping around. the maxtor you quoted is too expensive.

never heard of orion monitors but $310 is a bit high as well.

[iNeb]

What's the warranty on OEM athlon xp's at new egg?

I'm not going to use the HSF, but it does come with a 3 year warranty, but AMD only supports pads and i'm going to use paste.

[PyroSama]

Thats 310dollars for two. Thier 155dollars each.


I found IBM 60GB Deskstar 180GXP ATA100 Fluid Bearing HDD for 99dollars. But as I said Im still shoping around.

If any one has any sugestions of any spacific drivices please link me to a place to buy.

My reason for posting was to get help bringing the cost well below 1000dollars

Also I was looking at this case

Ultimate 4+6 bays BLACK Med. ATX case w/300W
and a FREE side-fan & 2 USB ports! (will have link later)

this costs 100 dollars

[PyroSama]

This is the case: http://shop.harddrive.com/cgi-bin/it...03011912044306


The harddrive: http://shop.harddrive.com/cgi-bin/it...03011912044306



PyroSama

[iNeb]

IBM dies easily, as i heard.

and you can get THIS for 99$

[rourkchris]

Try www.sharkeyextreme.com They have a budget gaming PC build every month($1000.00) that shows what hardware you can build within that budget for maximum performance/value.

[PyroSama]

The PS in that computer is a P4 PS that wont work with my gigabyte amd mobo will it?



PyroSama

[PyroSama]

Here is another case I found but I like the one iNeb posted most of all. One diferance you will notice is this one is about 60 dollars cheaper.

PyroSama

[iNeb]

I'm getting another case just like that (cheiftec) for 20$ more, all it has is a bigger psu and firewire in the front


You can also get it cheaper $70~ but no aluminum

[PyroSama]

This one is only 40dollars so that would cost more.


PyroSama

[iNeb]

All in taste. But i am getting this type of case.

[PyroSama]

iNeb: Will the PSU that comes with the case you posted work with the motherboard I plan to get?

If so I will probably get that one.


PyroSama

[iNeb]

I'm not sure, but this is the case i'm getting
