| 273815 | 2004-09-19 09:36:00 | Evenin' all, Thinking about putting together a basic pc. Min 1Gig processor (pref not a Celeron), 256mb ram, 32mb video, just a cd drive, no floppy required, even just a 10gb hdd will do, 17"crt monitor. 1) What do you reckon would be a reasonable amount to pay if I were to find a complete readymade system similar to this. 2) I imagine it could be cheaper to find the parts and put it together myself perhaps. Any good places to find old pc parts online (other than Trademe)? |

| 273817 | 2004-09-19 11:36:00 | Look at (commercial) auctions for ex lease PC's, some go for a song, some a bit more, use trademe to benchmark the prices but to be honest soem of the pricing on trademe ain't that honest. Cheers Murray P |
