Intel based..

What would you suggest for Processor/MB/Memory? Would like integrated video/audio to keep costs low. Not a game machine just office.

thx.

If its just for office work, just go to pricewatch, click on the your choice under the systems heading and pick one under $500.
I am sure any thing there would be fine for office work.
IMHO, if its just for office why bother to build unless you are really, really into building your own, or want to learn the whole process of "building" your own from scratch...
just my two cents worth...

a guy at work just built one with a nForce board, and used all the onboard stuff, with a XP1800 cpu. there is not one add-on card in the machine, and it works great he says. if you want I can get the full list of parts.. but the list will be short LOL

[mr meany]

yeah let me know.

[BubbaJudge]

yes nforce, but it will have to be amd based, but with XP1700's going for $50 i'd that would be the way to go for a cheap business machine.

$70 asus

[mr meany]

[BubbaJudge]

there you go

ddr intel 845g, not bad at all

socket 478 so you could even upgrade the cpu if you wanted at a later date

nice software bundle, all built

cant go wrong there

Watch that 1 year warranty. It means 1 year on hardware. They won't even take a phone call without an "in" warranty computer. Just an FYI.

[Hellwalker]

Yeah, but he can call me.

[Smoken]

Cool!, Can I call too? :lol:

[ZetetiC_ElencH]

bleh Gateway...

get the nforce.

[Hellwalker]

May want to check this one out Meany. http://64.191.23.222...e=deals&id=6081

I just did it because I got to family members looking for new systems without the need of a monitor. I keep rebates and discounts for a quick profit of $300.

If you know someone to sell one to, you'd pick up one for yourself very cheap. It's a P4 too, not a celeron.

LOL Zet! And a Dell, not a "bleh" Gateway.

[Smoken]

I was looking around for a PC for a friend, CHEAP!

Check this out!

$238 for a Compaq Celeron.

[Hellwalker]

Not bad for the price. Celeron and Sdram me no want.

[Smoken]

Keep the copy of XP Pro and throw the hardware away. hehe

[BubbaJudge]

smoken, i'd be happy to buy a compaq

just find me a tabletpc for that price

[Smoken]

We can get them internally for about 1000 bucks, but ......

getting your manager to approve it is an act of god!

Sorry dude :(

[BubbaJudge]

Hellwalker, did you do that dell deal? is it still valid?

[Hellwalker]

Yes I did. As far as I know it's still a go. $753 shipped with the tax added. Already have them both sold for $525 apiece.

[Hellwalker]

Hey that's almost enough profit for a new 9700 Pro! Oh, I got that.

Guess I'll tuck it away for next "best" thing.

[BubbaJudge]

dvdrw :wink:

[Hellwalker]

Yeah, that new Sony drive is looking SWEET! 8O
