Hi
I have been interested in building a cheap PC - I am not looking high end stuff, just parts I have been accumulating on the cheap - like my $20 80 GB HD, my $9 DVD Drive, my FAR CDRW, etc.
I will probably get a ECS Motherboard and 1.6 or 1.8 Duron processor the nest time Frys has them dirt cheap
I have a cheap case picked out but need to buy a power supply. Two deals I can get with the case follow. Can you help educate a PC building neophyte here - which cheap power supply is better and why (and no, I don't want to spend big $ for Antec) - I can get each of these for about $13. My goal is simply to learn something about building a PC - and not spend more than $125 doing so. Thanks
