yea the case shoudlnt be on there twice. the reason mobo and other stuff are missing is b/c i didnt know what to choose :( I'd just rock ehanger's build, i.e. the Tomshardware SBM cheapo build. I'm sure someone can offer opinions on an AMD build for the...

issues with it? Not sure about the case mainly. I like it. It's a very solid inexpensive build! Thanks shortstuff, i will keep that list saved for the next time someone asks for a basic cheapo build on here, will save a ton of time. I like it too,...

the looks of the Antec Sonata, but I'm not wedded to it. Thanks! I know enuff to be dangerous. :tongue: Yeah, the sonata is a nice case. But for work machines, which it sounds like you're building, I get cheapo cases from dumpinggoods.com. Like $15 (Watch...

price. By then the 4800 x2 might only be 200$. With the difference you can have a much faster chip. Then spend a bit more and build a decent "cheapo" around the single core and have 2 systems. ~Matt Why not just spend the $200 today, and see the performance...

invesment since once the powersupply blows up it can take most of the system with it. One thing in buying/building PC's Never cheapo out on the Powersupply. hahahaha.... i agree with syche..... build it urself, and get a decent PSU ...
