Follwing rules, have a budget of 350 shipped, barebones machine.

Sorry started a thread or two already, but found the sticky. So I apologize to the mods for adding to the clutter, id like to add I've learned a lot from the many helpful people here and just reading. Awesome forum.



Barebones business workhorse.

Approximate Purchase Date: this week. Asap.

Budget Range: 350 shipped,

System Usage from Most to Least Important: run 3 monitors, (2 have dvi or vga, one is vga only) Web browsing, ms office, web editing, video server.

Parts Not Required: os, hard drive(I have several SATA drives), peripherals, monitors…

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: no pref there, maybe a fast shipper would be my focus here.

Country of Origin: USA

Parts Preferences: prefer intel, other then that open for suggestions.

Overclocking: Yes, but if a great pirce don’t mind, I am upgrading from a terrible p4 with a benchmark of 279, there’s no place to go but up. Looks like a nice benchmark would be around 2500-3500

SLI or Crossfire: no preference, no idea, not really focused on gaming, wouldn’t mind playing SC 2, wont’d die without it. Really want to perform my multiasking for business tasks FAST (ebay, cl, remote support, web page editing, invoicing etc...)

Monitor Resolution; (3) basic vga monitor. Planar PL1910MW 1440 x 900 WXGA+ optimum widescreen resolution , Samsung Syncmaster 930B 1280 x 1024 resolution, may upgrade to a nicer monitor in some time.

Thanks in advance.
