Hello, TPU. This is a build contest, in which the winner will be paypal'd $15.
I have been given $600 to build a computer, WITH a monitor, preferrably larger (19" +)
This computer is mainly for media/web browsing, onboard video is not a problem. If you can fit any cooling solutions, video cards, etc.. in this money range, good. Make it as close to $600 as you can, if it goes over a lil bit (max $25) thats alright.
This build is everything, monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc...
(preferred keyboard Razor Lycosa, or equivelant)
RULES:
1. The build must be able to be shipped to TN.
2. The build must be able to be bought and shipped below $600 on february 15(This would mean that deals have to last to this point)
3. MIRs will not count towards a final price of the product.
4. You may only post once on this thread, however you may edit your thread any amount of times you wish(although, you need to notify me if your build has updated it so I can reevaluate it.) If your post doesn't contain a build, I will ask you to delete it. If you don't, a mod will be contacted.
5. Try to make all the hardware from a single retailer, preferrably newegg or tigerdirect. Must be able to be purchased with paypal.
6. If you are selling any part of the build personally, it must be available for purchase on the 15th of february.
If you need to contact me about any part of this thread, do it by PM, dont post here unless it is a build. Operating system is not required. but if you want to add, go ahead.
7. End of contest is the last day of January.
last but not least, HAVE FUN, and build me a computer! (computer is a gift for a loved one)
Audibles:
1. Farlex85 - If you can fit any peripherals of any type, IE speakers, feel free, anything at all so long as its under $600, use your imagination. The recipient is FEMALE, and this can be OCed, but must be 100% stable over long periods of time.
2. Diddle - make sure you denot which link is which piece of hardware. Also, you can make this a public wishlist from the egg, make it easier for me n u.
3. andrewsmc - this is perfect, this is the preferred way of doing things. there are some out of stock items, if they are out of stock by end of contest at the end of january, it will be obsolete. also, the $600 is with it SHIPPED, so watch it.
4. easy_rhino - This must include every part to make it bootable and operable INC keyboard/mouse. EDIT: you know what your doing, ill shut my mouth.
5. Aklass - Once again, this build, shipped, comes well over $700. I do like the addition of the 2180, but its not too futureproof. An amd chipset with a 7750 (barely priced higher) would be much more worth it for that price.
6. CDAWALL - amazing, never built an ITX before. Most everything is Free Shipping, good stuff. That atom is going to be slower than dogshit tho.
7. Steevo - looks pretty good, I think i could sacrifice the extra cash, get a 7750, and still be under $625. Digging the blu-ray capability, but remember that it doesn't have any cd writing capabilities.
8. JRRacingfan - you have 2 of [[SpecResearch MKS-301(PS/2) Black PS/2 Standard 3-in-1 Multimedia combo - Retail]] do I need 2?
ZIP for shipping is 37040, ALT is 42223 (if other doesnt work.)
