    Hey guys, I m moving off to school in January and my parents have this thing about me taking my computer with me . i figured, I have spent almost $1200 building and upgrading my computer,I am not just going to leave it for a semester .so i came to the conclusion: why not just use old parts that i have upgraded from and build a basic computer for my family. they basically only use it for internet and word processing. i have an amd athlon xp 1900+, and 80gb hard drive, a radeon 9000 pro, a spare cd rom drive, and a stick of 512 ram. these are all parts i have upgraded from, so they will go into the new computer. basically i need a cheap simple case with no window but good aesthetics (clean looking, preferably black). I can find a cheap psu and mobo and other misc cables, im just needing any ideas you have to make this project as cheap as possible.

    thanks guys !

    Aside from issues with the age of the CPU (it might be able to run Firefox - just - but the antivirus, firewall, OS et al is another matter...) good luck finding a Socket A motherboard to put it in :o

    I was thinking the same about finding a socket A mobo, but I had a quick look on pixmania.ie and they have one for sale. link
