I am building a inexpensive, AMD Duron based, computer for somebody who won't be gaming, or doing much multimedia intensive stuff. What do you think of the following components. oh...no ocing on this thing either.
MSI K7T Pro ~ $111
Duron 700Mhz. ~ $70
nVidia TNT2 w/ 16MB ~ $54
128MB Crucial Ram (I hate buying cheap ram
) ~ $92.00
3Com Modem ~ $60
Case w/ 300W PS ~ $100
Mouse/Keyboard ~ $95 (he wants wireless...)
IBM 15GB ~ $130
Total ~ $712
Big thing I am wondering about is the on-board sound with the VIA AC97 sound stuff, is that any good at all?
