barebone systems??

[mikee]

I was looking on tigerdirect.ca and they have "barebone" systems that are cheap that don't have a hdd or gpu etc. It does not say but do these usually come with the mobo already in the case.

Almost all barebone systems come with a motherboard, and usually with a processor too.

are they already installed though or do you have to put em in yourself?

They should be seperate. Installing one is no sweat, even for a n00b.

well most of them are separate, but u can have them assembled an ready to startup on demand. just watch put on the PSU's u get with those things, as usually they are cruddy, so check the reviews on the PSU (if they sell them with the barebone)

I would advise against the PSU that is included in a barebones, and get a reliable brand instead.

The man speaks much wisdom. If I had a dollar for every person who builds a great system but to save money they go cheap on the power supply, I'd be rich. The PSU is the back bone of your system.

If the psus are that bad I'll put the one I have in this computer in the new one.
