Over break I’m building a home theater PC.. I figured having my computer and my TV be two separate things was kind of pointless. I might upgrade the other PC I built into a web server. Here are the stats so far for the parts I’ve bought and installed.. I’m just missing memory. All prices are displayed and rounded as: (actual/retail):
- Case: Ultra MicroFly MicroATX ($30/$60)
- Mobo: ASUS A8R-MX/SI Socket 939
- CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3400+ 2.2Ghz Socket 939 ($95 with Mobo)
- Memory: Patriot 1GB PC3200 ($90/$105)
- Video card: EVGA GeForce 7600GT 256MB ($90/$200)
- Hard drive: Samsung 160GB (had it before)
- Optical: Sony DRU-120C CD/DVD Double Layer Rewritable ($10/$40)
