I’m thinking this thing will actually get the job done. 🙂
Thanks. If the budget ends up shifting, I'll let you know. 🙂
Good grief, the optical drive is working perfectly, but the hard drive? Absolute garbage. 🙂
Alright, here’s the current setup: a Gigabyte M56S-S3, an AMD Athlon X2 dual-core 4800+, 2GB of DDR2, an AMD Radeon HD 6500 with 1GB, some junk 400W power supply, and a 20" widescreen monitor. I just slapped a new Alpine 64Plus cooler on it, but lately, the motherboard has been acting up. I was thinking about putting in minimal investment, probably a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM... though this isn't for me. It's for my neighbor—his kids are in elementary school, so I need something reliable enough to actually work for the next few years 🙂
I’d probably order the parts through Newegg or maybe Best Buy, or something along those lines. I haven't really kept up with the tech market lately, so I have no idea if there are any new, cheaper retailers out there now 🙂
Thanks in advance 🙂
