I was thinking of putting together a HTPC so I can watch Movies and play the odd game (CoD4 mainly) and general tasks like browsing and so on.
I have a budget of $600 Canadian and I'm only looking at DirectCanada for my parts to avoid Quebec provincial tax and the air shipping from there is cheap too!
I have come up with the following, I own a Dremel so the case will do fine as I intend to mod it and give it a spray job in black using DupliColor after seeking MK use it on his mods! - I plan on OCing both the CPU and GPU also.
Case: Compucase 7016
Graphics:: ATI 4830
PSU: CM Extreme Power+ 500w
RAM: Crucial Rendition 2x1GB @ 800mhz
CPU: E5200
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-EG41M-S2H mATX G41
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 160GB SATA
Drive: LG DVD Writer
Total: $590.77 with Free ground shipping and tax inc.
I don't need the keyboard, mouse or OS as I have XP.
Just wondering what you guys can come up with but it must be from DirectCanada.
Thanks.
