Spec me the cheapest PC possible with what I've got....

[Guru]

I've already got an e2160, an asrock 4coredual mobo and an HD3850.

Thats all I've got, I wan't to build the CHEAPEST POSSIBLE PC to mess about with VM ware on.

I don't need a mouse and I could probably manage without a monitor and keyboard.

Cheers,

G

could go a bit cheaper by getting a smaller HDD, although you wont really save much.

Not many to be honest, 2 maybe, server 2003 sbs and possibly a server 2008 install.

I've got 3 laptops and a Quad core PC aswell, so I'll not be putting all my eggs in one basket so to speak.

Just to learn more hands on for my MCSE etc.

Could get 2gb ram instead of 4gb to save £20 if money is really that tight.

I've got 6 gig of ram in my quad, so I could always take 2 out of there if I felt I needed 4 in each.

Sell a laptop or two on and increase the budget

Surely you can't need more than a full size and a portable?

might want to have a look in the MM tbh if you want cheap
