My old computer was dying a slow death, so I put the effort into pricing our a new system, and got all the parts for $400. The only part I save from my old system was the DVD-burner.
The part list is as follows:
- Athlon 64 X2 4000+
- ASUS M2A-VM Motherboard (with AMD 690G chipset, includes integrated ATI X1250 graphics)
- 1GB Crucial DDR2-5400 RAM
- Seagate 7200.10 250GB SATAII Hard Drive (16mb cache)
- Antec Minuet 300 Case (with 300W power supply)
This is not a gaming system since I didn’t go for a video card. I didn’t build a gaming system for the simple fact that it’s been a long time since I’ve really warranted a gaming system, so why spend the money?
The case is the thing I’m really happy with, it’s beautiful.
Anyways, that’s my nerdy side-note.
