well, being a complete noob, and a conservative one to boot, it took me awhile to build up to getting a second computer. but i now have gotten serious about it.
i was at FRYS today (san marcos one, near San Diego, brand new )
anyway, i picked up a new board, CPU, and heatsink/fan combo, and some thermal grease.
we'll see if i can bullshit my way through computer assembly. i'm going to be aquiring a hard disk, cd drive, video and sound cards as they appear with good deals... i'm hoping to close this computer for under 200 dollars when everything is said and done.
i picked up an ECS K7S5A board, coupled with an XP2400+, for 79.99. i picked up a coolermaster DP5-6J31C for 12 bucks... not too concerned over that... and some arctic alumina thermal compound.
we'll see if i know a damn thing about computer assembly hopefully deals for cases, hard disks, floppy drives, and cd drives appear soon
