Hi all!
NEWBIE here!
I can purchase a compaq P4 2.8gtz 512 ram 80gig HD CDRWDVD machine for $550(new). The computer is mainly for internet with some moderate gaming. It does not come with a video card, but I would probably add a ATI9600 128. Im leaning toward this option.
In checking prices on the parts I dont think I could build the same machine for the money. Im not into over clocking and all the gaming but I would not be against building my own machine.
I do have an old compaq case with a 266mgz P2(maybe a P3), would this make an acceptale build case platform(pwr source etc)? Knowing that I need a new mobo and the whole works.
Anyone?
Thanks
Normy
