I'm in college and I have a macbook that is strictly for school work and projects. I used to have a gaming PC that was pretty nice and a homebuild back at home and I'm starting to miss it.
Since I already have a laptop for school, I will be using this PC strictly for running OLD FPS GAMES and EMULATORS. I do NOT run games like Crysis. I run games like Crossfire and Counter Strike 1.6 and Source.
I will need all hardware. I'm starting from scratch so a cheap monitor and keyboard will suffice (I have a copy of Windows XP).
Because of the spacial constraints of a typical dorm, I will need the case to be small and the monitor will also need to have a small footprint.
My budget is about $500. All will be purchased from Newegg (USA). I am hoping for a small, quiet, FPS machine.
Thank you for your input and time!
