Dude, you're not getting a Dell...
Cuz I just droped about $875 on computer parts from newegg.com so i can build this ultra bitchin' Shuttle PC :) This is the kinda stuff I like to do. At heart I'm a computer nerd and I can be found most happy (surpisingly) taking apart and putting together PCs or anything electronic. This is one of the few times I can show off my smarts and feel good about it.
But anyway here's a run down of what I bought:
Chasis + Motherboard: Shuttle Chasis w/ MATX Intel Slot 478 Motherboard 1X AGP 4X/8X, 2X 184-pin SDRAM SIMM slots, 200Watt Power Supply (wish it was higher =P), 2X 3.5 External Bays, 2X 1.5 Internal Bays
CPU: Intel 3.0GHz 478 pin
Memory: 2X 512MB(1GB total) 184-pin DDR SIMM
Hard Disk Drive(HDD): 320GB HDD 7200RPM
Media Drive: 16x8x16 DVDR/RW (+,-, +/- supported) Single and Dual-Layer Burning; CDR/RW 24x16x48
Monitor: Acer 17" LCD monitor 12ms(miliseconds) lag time between CPU & Display
I say this was money well spent and A HELL OF A LOT CHEAPER THAN BUYING A DELL!
So what is up now BIZNATCH!?
