I am building a "lowish" end system for a co-worker. He is into some gaming, and wants some upgradeability. Budget is around 600.
Here is what I'm thinking:
Mobo: Biostar M7VIG Pro (Newegg $60)
CPU: Athlon XP 1700+ Tbred (Newegg $63 - retail)
Memory: 256 MB Crucial PC 2100 DDR (figure $40)
HDD: Western Digital 60 GB Drive ($70 locally)
Case: A Case (can be had for $60 locally with PSU)
Video: Abit Siluro GF4 4200 ($125 Newegg)
CDRW: A CDRW Drive ($20 with rebate-local deals)
Keyb/Mouse: MS Internet and Optical ($25 combined w rbt)
Flop: $15
Speakers: Just picked up Logitech Z340 for $25 at BB
Monitor: 17" Flat Screen CRT can be had for ~$100
Total Est: $633 sales tax included
Howzit look? Any ideas to make her cheaper? Also, this does not include OS. Add nother $90 for Win XP Home I guess. Which puts me bout $100 over range...
