New PC built from 'spares'

[Craig321]

I'm getting a new CPU & RAM for my main PC in a few weeks, so I'll have some spare parts which should help me get together another decent PC quite cheaply

I have spare:
CPU (E6600)
RAM (4x1GB Geil Ultra)
Hard drives (2x 500GB WD)

It'll be mainly used for running servers (CSS etc.) and other 'sandbox' type tasks.

Nice and cheap please!

Craig.

onboard gfx so no need for gfx card

solid power supply for constant usage

and the rest is pretty much value

the DVD drive is also very quiet

Not bad, not bad. Still not sure on an integrated card yet though as the PC might run some games from time to time. Might see if I can find on of those heat-pipe 8600s, or something similar.

Good price and spec, however, I'd prefer not to go for B-Grade stuff as I probably won't be ordering that soon. I'll check out some other barebone systems though, could be quite a good idea
