I don't have the budget for 7800's or even sli so I was just wondering what the "best" budget system is on here...here is my system and the prices.
athlon 3000+ venice(stable all day long at 2.8gz, and runs at 25c idle and 31 load)- 150 bux
chaintech zenith mobo- 80 bux
2 gig of kingmax ram( I love kingmax no matter what anyone says)- 200 bux
300 gig maxtor 16mb cache - I got this one free because of a couple older drives that went bad and maxtor offered me this instead of fixing them
sapphire x800xl 512mb - 200 bux (I almost wet myself when I saw the price)
audigy 2 zs- 50 bux
hauppage win-tv go- 40 bux
dell 2001fp- 450 bux (you cant skimp on monitors or the whole system suffers)
27 dollar skyhawk case from new egg(this thing is amazing for the price, it would be great even if it was 3 times the cost)
z-5500's- got these for 250
sennheiser hd485 headphones- 70 bux
xp-120 cooling on the cpu-20 bux (bought it used and ugly)
wow 1537 total cost, I never realized I spent this much on my computer since it has taken like 2 years to finally be finished.
I even got shit way cheaper than I shoulda, hmmm would this even qualify as a budget comp?
wow this is an expensive peice of metal wurring along next to me... who knew?
