review of budget first build please
looking to build a budget first build ... and came up with the following
partlist from ebuyer (using the star ratings to help guide me)... cost comes to about £150+ vat... I guess most iffy bit is integrated motherboard - not upgradeable etc... but gets lots of good reviews on ebuyer feedback http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...vd19wcm9kdWN0X 3Jldmlld3M=&product_uid=49017 some even saying it wasn't a bad games machine (medal of honour etc)... What do people here think? if I could stretch another £50 could I get a substantial improvement changing some parts... machine is for general purpose office apps and some games (eg medal of honour etc)? thanks Andy ECS K7SOM+ With Duron PRO1800 + CPU/USB 2.0/Sound/Graphics/lAN motherboard 049017 £ 51.38 Crucial PC2100 256mb DDR 184pin DIMM 042142 £ 29.99 JNC 4JA 164(a) Grey Midi Tower Case 300w PSU USB 045395 £ 15.46 IBM / Hitachi 180GXP 60Gb 7200rpm ATA100 2mb Cache Hard Drive 043159 £ 37.84 Panasonic Floppy Disk Drive Black 1.44MB 3.5 inch internal 043087 £4.98 Samsung 52x Internal IDE CD - ROM Drive - OEM 033868 £9.85 8cm Internal Case Cooling Fan 023880 £0.69 Cart Total: £150.19 |

CPU is only 1200MHz Duron and there is no AGP slot on motherboard for future
3D graphics. upgrade. Anyway you certainly can't build a brand new PC for any cheaper. I recommend ebuyer. I've ordered lots and never had any problems.
