754 <> 939?

[Trotter]

I was going to cut my teeth on building her one first, so if I screw it up it won't be mine.

I'm thinking of using a barebone sysyem, either 754 or socket A. I dunno yet...probably whatever I can afford...

if this computer is built for media, go for a 9800xt

Right now, I'm looking at these:

Where else can I find some decent barebones?

Or, I might just build it piecemeal.

i wouldnt buy any of them, id build it myself

Yeah, generally you can get much better quality and cheaper price building it yourself.

If they do have a cheaper priced deal you can pretty much assume the quality will be crap

 

[Trotter]

Yeah, that make sense.
