I built this rig back in September '06, the only upgrades being the video card and case. Currently, I have put about $1500 into it. I'm asking $900 or best offer. I am also willing to part out anything but the Hard Drive and the Video Card.
and if you let me play with those prices i can save up to 100 dollars.
the bottleneck in this system is the cpu. i was thinking 500 but lets see what i can do. $72 Motherboard: MSI K9N Neo-f AM2 Nvidia 550 $70 2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 4-4-4-12 $255 video card: 8800gts 320mb $70 hd: 320gb Segate Barracuda $50 cpu: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ AM2 Orleans (2.4Ghz) $44.96 psu: Aspire 520 $35 cd/dvd burner: Samsung 8X ( blah blah) ( you could easily get one better for 30 shipped) $40 case: Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC-T05
( THATS SHIPPED BROS )
saved: $75.54 dollars. price: 636.96
last year that whole computer wasn't worth 1.5k. this is what i got last year ( around the 9th of august)
cpu : e6400 video card: a-i-w x1900 case: p180b screen:20.1' lcd ( W.S) speakers: logitech ( forgot what brand) microsoft wireless mouse + keyboard case fans cpu hsf 2 dvd burners psu: 500w antec true power psu mobo: p5b duluxe wifi/ap hd: 320gb hd seagate
1.1k
with 900 bucks you could probably build my build with maybe a little bit extra.
with my skills i could probably build computers and sale them on ebay for a living.
