OK, everything is bought, and we're just waiting for the processor to arrive before we start building. This is for my partner, who doesn't like naming his computers, so I'm giving the project his nickname instead.
Motherboard: ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
Processor: Opteron 146 CABNE
RAM: VDATA Memory Expert DDR400(3) 1Gx16 (I've never heard of it, but it's what we have for now)
Hard drives: 2x Maxtor 200GB (but only shows 127GB- any suggestions?)
Graphics card: GeForce 6600 GT PCI-Express (SLI ready)
Case: Some random one from the local computer shop with tons of fans stuck on it
Cooling: Akasa Evo 33 (you can probably tell we were running out of money... )
Monitor: Random 20" CRT we were given
Total cost (excluding stuff salvaged from what we had): just under £500 (some items we paid extra for by supporting our local businesses... meaning we couldn't be arsed to wait for deliveries )
I can't wait for the processor to arrive so I can get this baby working
