The canadian PC contest!

[chitocobo]

Ok to enter simply go to any computer parts site that ships canadain (canadain contest lol)and buy the following things for less that $250 (canadain dollors stupid....)

Mobo - anymobo it dont matter
Processor - wtf is a mobo without one
ram - umm yah.. i expect alot of value ram lol
case - uhh huh.


were going to asume that a maxtor or seagate 160gb hardrive fell out of the sky and smacked us in the face... so dont include HD... only the parts above (dont forget heat sink if not amd)

The reson for this is to see who can cram the best crap in for that price.. last yaer someone made a p3 1.2 with 256 pc133.. so let the umm cheapness begin.....

I found this :

MB: Asus A7N8X-MX (89$)
CASE/POWER SUPPLY : Med Tower [350W] (35$)
PROCESSOR : AMD Duron 1.6GHz (59$)
RAM : 1 x 256 Megs DDR333 (55$)
TOTAL : 238$

Prices from <A HREF="http://www.meilleursprix.ca" target="_new">http://www.meilleursprix.ca</A> and <A HREF="http://www.microbytes.com" target="_new">http://www.microbytes.com</A>

I think you may get a better CPU if you buy a cheaper MB. But the A8N8X-MX is based on nForce 2, it's a good choice for the price!

Mobo price seems a bit low, otherwise they aren't surprising.

Have you seen the guys that are getting their durons to 2.4ghz and a bit higher? They are getting 3dmarks of like 18k some 18500, and that's with a 256 L2. I'd think my little barton should be able to reach 2.4ghz without a problem.

ohh umm if you go to tigerdirect.ca and get a via 1.2 and a stick of pc133 and an old HD than cashconverters will give you 200 bucks for it and it cost less that 100 to make lol.. easy profit but my cashconverters stoped buying from me after i sold em 3....
