how much did it cost ya?
i'm looking to build myself a new system, so just wondering. |
Well, my budget was $1500 excluding a monitor, so I built the best rig I could for that price. Mind you, this was in november, and prices have gone down since then.
I'm actually helping a friend get a new computer today... his budget is around $700, and I'm looking to get him a p4 2.4GHz for that price. The key is to not buy Windows, just use a copy you already have, because that adds on another $200 to the price. You can also cut out other things you dont' really need (use your old floppy drive, saves $10, old cd-rom, $50)
Someone who is knowledgeable about brand names and computer hardware can really help out here and give u the best bang for your buck.
