Need advice for a simple rig. StGrim Aug 12th, 07, 12:05 PM #1 (permalink)
Hiya guys,

I need to assemble a new PC for a friend. Here are some factors to consider-
1. This PC will be used solely for web surfing and simple word processing.
2. It needs to be AS SMALL AS POSSIBLE, but still using the m-Atx form factor.
4. This is for use in a cramped office space.
3. No need screen/keyboard/mouse. Budget is $770, looking for the most bang-for-buck.

Here's what I have come up with-

AMD Athlon X2 4000+ / Gigabyte MA69VM-S2 $240
1GB Crucial DDR2-667 RAM $68
Western Digital 80GB 7200rpm HDD $71
Samsung S182 18x DVD+-RW $47
Slim HEC Case with 250W PSU http://www.hec-group.com.tw/model.ph...sktop&model=76 $100+
Windows XP Professional $217


Total $743

Any recommendations for a better case?

Intel Xeon E3110@3.6GHz | DFI LP UT X48-T2R | 4x2GB Team Xtreem Dark DDR2-1066 CL5 |
Intel X-25M G2 80GB/WD 1500ADFD | Pioneer DVR-212BK | Sapphire HD5870 1GB DDR5 Vapor-X |
Creative XtremeMusic w/LM4562 & BlackGate Mod | Antec CP-850 | Antec Performance One P183 | Megahalems w/Scythe Ultra Kaze | Dell UltraSharp™ 2408WFP
