I'll post this in the hopes that someone will benefit from this...

Dual core, 4 GB RAM, good cooling, and 250 GB hard drive for sub 350. If you swapped to a WD GreenPower, this thing would barely register on a Kill-A-Watt. Green PC as well as cheap.

Is newegg down or is it just me?

What graphics card are you using for this?

Ricey
01-19-2009, 01:52 PM
Obviously AMD graphics on board. ATI Radeon HD3200.

I can drum down the machine further to the mid-200 range.

OS is left to your choice. Mine is Ubuntu, so at that point there is no point in putting a price on that...

Hahaha... I remember when I first saw those things... I wanted one :(.


The build looks good Kayin, I'm just teasing.

Bought the system and the cpu. Worked out to be under $200. What a deal! Someone said that these cpus don't need a fan
