Hi
I'm looking to replace 2 computers in my office that have been an annoyance for too long.
Below are the specs of what's in them now. Both systems are used only for general MS desktop applications and internet access.
The P4 system is not really that slow but I need an additional box so I'll probably keep that in service.
Could it be cheaper to build 2 new boxes with Micro ATX cases and onboard video & sound than purchase 2 new from Dell or other lower cost vendor? I don't need monitors or keyboards.
There's cases on Newegg.com for $15 to $30 and some Motherboard / CPU / VGA Combos
I'm not sure what to look for as far as CPU on the low end.
Certainly would want something that is not a dog. At least like the P4 below?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
System #1 (not bad now)
Pentium 4
1.7 GHz
1GB RAM
ATI Rage 128 4X AGP 4X
Win XP Pro
System #2 (garbage)
Pentium III
730 MHz
256MB RAM
Win XP Pro
