A friend of mine is looking to get a new machine. He was going to get an all-in-one Sony Vaio, but for $1600, I could build him a way better machine…
Here is what I came up with so far, none of which I have checked for the best prices online yet.
- ATI All-In-Wonder® 9800 Pro 128MB AGP Video Card (link) - $250-400
- Not sure of which case I like the Antec, he likes the Lanboy.
- Antec PlusView 1080AMG PC Tower Case (link) - $159
- Super Lanboy Aluminum Super Mini Tower Case ( link) - $89
- Athlon XP 3200 (400mhz FSB) - $111
- Asus A7V600 Motherboard ( link) - $55
- 1GB PC3200 DDR - ( link) - $113 or maybe 2 gig for about $348
- Western Digital 160GB Caviar® 7200 Hard Drive - (link) - $99
