Hey all,
I posted earlier tonight about whether to get a Dell or Homebuild one and I decided that it was more worth my while to make two new comps from my old one. One for my sister and one for me: Here are the specs that I picked out and I plan on buying tonight...any suggestions before I place the order?
First Comp (Sister's)...for email, word processing, and internet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobo: Gigabyte (price 0, already have)
Processor: 2.53Ghz P4 (price 0, already have)
Case: Antec Solution SLK1650B Black Computer Case (63 dollars)
Ram: 512 MB DDR (price 0, already have)
Hard Drive: 80GB (price 0, already have)
Speakers: AOpen 90.18612.SPH 2.1 Speaker (36 dollars)
Printer: Canon ip1600 (50 dollars)
Video Card: ATI Radeon 8500 (price 0 already have)
Monitor: 19" trinitron
Second Comp (mine)....for video processing and some games (not super hardcore)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobo: EPoX EP-9NPA+Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard (103)
Processor: Opteron 165 (336)
Ram: 512mb (will upgrade when I get a chance)
Hard Drive: 200 GB Western Digital (0, already own)
Video Card: Unsure, will use money from selling my ATI AIW 9700 to buy a new one
Monitor: Dell 2005W (0, already own)
This total price (minus the price of a video card that I will need to buy) is 585 dollars.
Is there anything you guys think I should change before I purchase? Thanks a lot for the advice / suggestions!
