(MoC) Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Ok, lets see. Build your own computer! Mobo: http://www.dealtime.com/xPO-Intel-D946GZIS Now you have to find compatible ram and other things (maybe the CPU isn't included, didn't read)! Then install away....

~pcwiz Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Well, I can definetely help but I need more info, such as what you are going to use the machine for, whether you want to run OS X on it, and what your budget is.

socal swimmer Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 well my budget is 600 bucks, am thinking of using the machine for gaming, since gaming machines can do absolutely anything. here is one i have spec'ed out for 600 (after rebates and shipping, before tax [in three states]), with no monitor. Final parts list: Gfx: XFX 7600gt: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814150185 $74 Processor: E6750: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819115029 $190 Mobo: GA P35 DS3P rev 2.0: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813128067 $150 - (I needed an extra x16 slot- I would recommend the DS3R, as it is more compatible with mac os x, and cheaper) RAM: Corsair XMS2 (2*1GB): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820145034 $50 case: Antec Sonata 3: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811129024 $100 cd/ dvd: sony/nec AD-7170S-0B: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16827152079 $32 FINAL PRICE: 600$ (a 22" acer is around $230) hope this helps, and btw, I don't mind feedback on mine Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73240-what-hardware-would-you-reccomend-for-a-budget-of-600-bucks/#findComment-517410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ric0h Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 I have never really build a computer of my own, I know where everything preety much is, but all those connectors and stuff, i am cluless. Should i just pay around 30 bucks for someone to do it? or should i take the risk? also, how to i know if the MOBO will fit the cpu case?

~pcwiz Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 If the MoBo is an ATX mobo and the case is an ATX mid tower or bigger, it should work.

Alessandro17 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I have never really build a computer of my own, I know where everything preety much is, but all those connectors and stuff, i am cluless. Should i just pay around 30 bucks for someone to do it? or should i take the risk? That sounds like a good idea to me (paying somebody or asking a friend). Make sure it is somebody who really knows what he/she is doing.
