quick supercheap PC build
thought i'd give it a go with one of those cheap AMD64's - so went uptown and got some bits, nd it's damned cheap providing all works ok
the package was:
ASUS mini ATX motherboard - has onboard everything and only 2 PCI slots + AGP, however as most people require only one PCI slot for the audio card, why not!
200gb seagate 8mb cache drive
AMD64 3000 OEM chip
1GB stick of ddr400 3200 kingston ram
Arctic Lite AMD64 silent cooler
that's it, i'm going to use no floppy drive, and old 32x cdrw drive I have knocking around, and share the keys & screen using a switching box + alsdo I'm going to use an old standard size ATXA case i also have spare.
£265 quid! for those bits, which is soooooooo cheap, if you had to add a case & cd, keys & mouse, that'd be only a tad more - so around than 300 quid all in should be ok
I'm actualy building it to sit on a network and render video, but should be ok for music, lets see.... i dont have time to do a video-build for this sadly, but this is like the cheapest you can get an AMD64 using the old Socket 754 - For the later 939 pin you need different power supply etc, so this should be interesting for such a cheap price
Got all the bits from YoYotech (
