Any good barebones?

mwahsun · 04-21-2006, 03:24 AM

I finally gave up on my crappy computer. Now I am just wondering if there is a place where they sell great barebone systems. I have a graphic card, new harddrive, RAM, cd drives. I am not looking for a crazy expensive barebone system. Something around $200-$400. Any good websites? I am currently thinking of: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

What do you guys think of that? Good deal? Or do you know any other places where they sell good barebones for good price? Please feel free to give suggestions! Thank you.

You could wait for AM2 or Conroe, whatever suits you. Unless you need the computer this instant.

Yeah, I wouldn't suggest buying a socket 754. It's not the worst out there, but it can't support the latest and greatest technology, and the future's standard technology, such as dual-channel ram. I would highly suggest a socket 939.

This one http://cgi.ebay.com/AMD-ATHLON-64-35...QQcmdZViewItem doesn't look terrible.
