First build - All for under fifty quid.

I'm pretty pleased with myself. Mainly built from spare parts.
I've only paid for the memory (Which is pretty dreadful at the minute, plans to improve in near future), the CPU and the heat sink.

I'm getting more memory when funds allow it...

Socket 775,
Pentium 4 3.2GHz Hyper Threading (I have no idea what hyper threading is.. )
256MB 400mhz DDR RAM
16X DVD Burner
40 + 60GB 7,200RPM IDE Hard Drives
33 in one internal card reader

Its currently in a case older than.... the pope, because I didn't have any decent ones.

I've never had a Pentium 4 processor before, or anything above or equal to it, so really this is the best computer i've ever had all for under fifty quid.


What d'ya think?

Nice

Hey,

Nice job for that price. Did you steal the spare parts?

Heh, no.

I've been given them from all over really.... Some, such as the hard drives and the PSU were pulled from my old PC...

A problem is the motherboard. think it's a bit faulty really so I might have to buy a cheapish one that also supports dual core so I can upgrade it to a core 2 duo in 5 years time when you can buy dual core proccessors for 20 quid second hand...
