My cheap old setup

JunkBear · Jul 19, 2014

Hi guys and girls.

I decided to jump on the deal a friend made to me a one month old motherboard for 30$ and rebuild myself a setup.

Mobo : G31M-GS R2.0 (30$)
CPU : 6300 SL9SA 1.86gig/2M/1066FSB (Going on overclock at least 2.5gigs) (Junk)
CPU cooler : CoolerMaster Vortex 752 (15$)
Memory : (4gigs) 2gigs Kingston KVR800D2N5/2G + 2gigs Transcend JM800QLU-2G (Junk)
Graphic : Asus EN9800GT HB/HTDI/512M/A (Junk)
Optical : DVD-RW LG GH22NS70 (Sata2) (35$ back in time)
Hard disk : Samsung Spinpoint SP2504C (Sata2) (Junk)
Power supply : Enermax NoiseTaker 2 EG495P-VE (2$..yeah you've read right!)
Case : Aerocool Qx-2000 (120$ back in time and used it in many setup already)

Will probably add a 3.5" cards reader and use it for Office, Youtube, Facebook, Downloading, Battlefield 2 multiplayer. Maybe time to open my nib Arkham asylum to try it.

Total cost of the setup 47$. Junk parts are parts i got from people who don't want anymore, municipal ecologic recycling depot and even on roadside the day of garbage.

Cheap as fook..

Well it's old but at least not AGP/ATA/DDR1 old. For that price it's great for the things you want to use it for.

damn my main rig is similar to that setup

Not that bad actually. BF2 should be no problem.

I ran BF2 on a single core Opteron Venus @ 2.7Ghz, Biostar NF4SLi-A9, Nvidia 7800GT, 2x1GB of ram iirc.

JunkBear, you should post that picture on the Nostalgic thread man. :peace:

Damn, 9800GT? That's pretty sweet for the price.

All I can think about with that build is the woes my friend is going through still having a 9800GT, but at least you spent WAY less for your sys than he did.

Bf2 ran fine on a Athlon Xp with X800 or x1950 Pro

Free is always a good price! Except when it's Aids.
