1198847	2011-05-02 07:02:00	Hi, Im currently a student still at college and am wanting to build a low cost pc to just browse the net and play some music and movies off. I have a $200 budget. Is anyone able to recommend some CPU, RAM, motherboard bundles that fit within my price range??? Thanks	quark (15122)

1198849	2011-05-02 07:30:00	Just to clarify I have a HDD, case, PSU already. Sorry bout the confusion. So I just need a CPU, some RAM and a motherboard	quark (15122)
1198850	2011-05-02 07:43:00	Maybe something like a Mini ITX with onboard CPU Example from ascent (www.ascent.co.nz) then throw in some ram -- Just dont expect much performance. In that link, if you click on the heading Motherboards Onboard CPU there are others as well.	wainuitech (129)
1198851	2011-05-02 08:27:00	I presume the PSU & case are ATX and the HDD is SATA?	inphinity (7274)
1198852	2011-05-02 08:47:00	At that budget, why don't you just get a second hand computer?	bk T (215)

1198854	2011-05-02 20:24:00	ASRock N68 @ $85 www.elive.co.nz Asrock is crap. Better to go onto GPforums sell forum and get something decent quality second hand.	pctek (84)
1198855	2011-05-02 22:09:00	Asrock is crap. Better to go onto GPforums sell forum and get something decent quality second hand. +1 It's better to get a quality second hand PC rather than paying new prices for some junk stuff. Make any sense?	bk T (215)
1198856	2011-05-03 05:08:00	Where is the OS in that budget? You could get an ex-lease with legit XP for under $50, then you've got $150 left to enjoy!	Paul.Cov (425)
