I'm building PC's if anyone wants one. They'll be about 325$ for a pretty nice PC (hella lot better than those that run about $500)

Oh, and most of the parts can be customized.

Good luck, but I think most people around here all ready build their own. Have you also tried advertising locally?

Yeah, I got some of the basics:

Intel Celeron D @ 2.23 GHz
Motherboard unknown
Nvidia GeForce 4000 MX or ATI Radeon 9250
512 MB dual channel RAM
80 GB HDD
CD-DVD R/W combo optical
Raidmax Case
400 watt PSU

EDIT: These are new parts, and they will be covered under warranty ( I think lol :D).

PS- Is there a device to shut your younger brother up? This would be better than the fountain of youth. LMAO.

cbb ain't the only redneck around :p

as the saying goes:

if it don't move, and it's supposed to, use wd-40. if it moves, and it ain't supposed to, use duct tape.

thats a pretty decent price, you definatly need to advertise locally

the motherboard model should be silk screened on the mobo somewhere. I think it's important to know what kinda mobo it is

what about shipping costs if you plan on building for someone who wants one in another state?

Tell you the truth no. Brand new dells around $400 have better.

Yeah I agree for that price, that setup is not worth it imo.

What about Windows? The price is good until you realize another 100 has to go just to get it to do anything.

redneck isn't location-based, it's a mindset :P

as i recall, cbb lives in some northernish state.

and, as somebody living in atlanta, i can assure you there are plenty of non-rednecks around georgia :p

Uh, not really. The processor and video card don't really matter when it comes to the motherboard. I believe I will order some Viarama mobos.

EDIT: lol that second sentence is wrong. Gotta have the right socket, right. lmao

naaa, i prefer to build my own anydays, you get a much better pc if you do this and you don't get fobbed off with the awful msi/seagate combination dell give you (i've had 3 msi mobo's now, each one has knackered somehow)

P.s. this pc im using right now has an msi motherboard in that went wrong. i had to fry it to get it working again... don't buy msi!!

Yeah, I read the reviews for MSI's. They're not that great. I might either try Viarama, ECS, or DFI.

EDIT: Seagates aren't really worth the money. I usually get Western Digitals (maybe 120 GB Caviar clear tops if I could get an order in.)
