Value Computer what do you think?

[alanuofm]

The out door price is $226.28 including tax and shipping. I have all the other parts from an older computer. What do you think? This is just for word processing and internet. no gaming. i was gonna go with the sempron a decent motherboard was pretty expensive.

Make sure the CPU is one with a heatspreader otherwise you'll have issues with heatsinks and stuff. Also, whats the intent for this box?

- PNY Optima 512MB [CL2.5, $32.44 after $10MIR]
- ASUS A8N-VM [$72]
-AMD Athlon64 3200 [S939, Venice, ADA3200DAA4BP, $167]
Subtotal = $271.44

Which isnt a lot more than what you originall had; if you dont need the PCIE+Onboard video you can switch to an AGP board for $58 making a total of $257.44

Now if $215 is a hard pricepoint then,
- PNY Optima 512MB [CL2.5, $32.44 after $10MIR]
- AMD Athlon64 2800 [S754, Newcastle, ADA2800AEP4AX, $124]
- Chaintech MBAV-MK8T890 [$44] for PCIE and ASUS K8U-X [$52.50] for AGP
Subtotal = less than $215

Word Processing and internet would be my guess.

This is just for word processing and internet. no gaming.
