Only sharing cause I'm bored and have nothing better to do right now.


  • Intel i3-530 Retail Box, $79 from FS/FT forums
  • Biostar TH55B HD (NIB), $56 from eBay
  • GSkill 2x2GB F3-10600CL8D-4GBHK, $65 from eBay
  • Western Digital 640GB "Blue", $40 from FS/FT forums
  • Moneual Moncaso Y603B mATX Slim Case/PSU (NIB), $68.69 from eBay
Total purchase price $308.96 shipped. I have a spare monitor, keyboard and mouse that have been sitting in my closet after other upgrades over the last few years, so those aren't included in the build price. I'm also considering putting in a DVD-ROM drive and an aftermarket HSF. $20 + ~$35 respectively. I'm in no hurry though.

Finally have all the kinks worked out. The ram is going to be RMA'd, so tack on an extra $5 if you want to, but a spare set is sitting in the machine and running quite nicely right now.
