Well, As some know, I have been trying to build a rig on the dead cheap. I have now got the following:
Coolermaster 830
E7300
EVGA 680i
2x 1GB OCZ 6400
9800 GT
Creative XFI elite pro
500w PSU
Akasa CPU sink
1x 500GB & 1x 80GB HDD's
and some Noctua fans for cooling
Not bad for £87.46
Took a while, waiting for bit's to pop up on the cheap, but it has
Reason for doing it on the ultra cheap is that I console game, so didn't want to build a insane PC gaming rig again as it would go to waste.
Hopefully picking up PSU and CPU sink today. Machine is already built, just waiting.
Odd that I used to have a £3k+ rig only a few years ago, seems pointless now as the above will do just fine
