ok i built a p4 computer for my brother a while ago, it sucks ass because we where on a budge of <$300 at the time.. well heres the specs:
Shitty generic case. came ****ing DENTED in the mail. but its small and the two fans(1 side, 1 exaust) seem to keep it cool.
Pentium 4 1.7ghz 478pin(yea, the cheaper one)
terrible "syntax" motherboard for p4 (SiS chipset)
256mb elixer pc3200 ram
60gb "platinum" drive 2mb cache
550w P/S
HP CD-RW + HP CD-ROM
Radeon 9200 (my old one)
Ok its worked fine(not to mention slow) since we built it, and now today it just wont start up. When I press the pwer button, fans turn on, you can hear the annyoingly loud cd drives, and if you put your ear up to the HD i think I can hear it spinning(barely). The motherboard must be on, because the optical mouse light turns on. We tried to see if the monitor is dead, and switched it, it is not. Maybe its the video card? I'll try that and post back
