Wat do u think of this i only have 550 to spend

Here is da system
Case: Raidmax Black $50

Amd athlon 2600 BARTON $109

ASRock "K7V88 RAID" VIA KT880 $46 (chose this over other brands cause it has raid and up to 4gb ram space)

Corsiar value Select 512mb PC3200 ddr400 $79

Seagate 80GB 7200RPM IDE Hard Drive $63

Optorite Black IDE/ATAPI 52X32X52 CD-RW Drive $26

Sapphire ATI radeon 9800pro 128mb 256-bit $185

total is about 550 bucks.

wat ya think have any upgrades? gonna use a old floppy drive. and remember i only have 550!

whoa! thats a great price for a system like that, the RAM price seems great, are most 512mb ram sticks that cheap in the US?

 

[daflo1]

the price really ranges on 512 sticks from 67 (lowest i seen) to well over 150.
btw i got these prices from www.newegg.com (think they ship worldwide THINK)

ASRock "K7V88 RAID" VIA KT880 $46 (chose this over other brands cause it has raid and up to 4gb ram space)

You could do better with ASUS A7V8X-X or A7N8X-X (for not much more)

wat ya think have any upgrades? gonna use a old floppy drive. and remember i only have 550!

It might be worth getting a 9600Pro and upping everything else In fact, i think Sempron3100 isnt outside of that budget range

[daflo1]

2600 xp not mobile

LOL wow alirangwala nice site NOT think anyone will fall for it. uh no!

2600 xp not mobile

would you consider mobile? i mean its pretty cheap, runs cooler than the desktop version, and still has 512kbL2 cache. i can't really see a reason not to get it.
