Building a new system!

Actually, my Dad gave me his machine to see what I could do with it and I decided to scrap it and give him a new one instead. He doesn't know it yet, I'll give it to him tomorrow.

Specs (Email and surfing pretty much)
K7SOM+ (installed Duron 1400+ w/ hs/f) $110
Maxtor 30g 7200 $49
256 PC2100 Samsung $66
PCTEL 56k v.90 fax/modem $15
Mitsumi 48x cdrw $57
Mitsumi FDD $12
320w Cybercase $35
Total $344

Formatting now.

He had a Gateway G6 - 400c that was trashed.

What do you think for a system bought on spur of the moment at a local store? It took me 45 min to build and start formatting.

I bought it Here

Pretty good prices locally.

Wish me luck!

I believe it's basically a 950 Duron. It comes on the ECS K7SOM+ installed. You can look it up in the Products section of



CompDepot

Hmm it must be a Athlon XP 1400+ because I don't think AMD uses that PR rating system for the Duron line. CompDepot description

Hey Jerry, that was really cool of you bud...I'm sure your Dad will more than enjoy that system. Plus you slammed that puppy together fast!


Great job...
