what do you guys use for standard builds for customers?

[MakeYourslf2012]

^Its pretty laid out. I Want to know what would be good to use for a standard office/home build (nothing special - just web browsing, word processing ect.).

I've done about 5 builds now and my services are starting to spead by word of mouth, so I need to come up with a standard parts list for a basic PC. It looks like I might have about 2 or 3 builds in febuary to do.


Is there anything that can compete with Dell's $300 desktop deal?

Thanks all and feel free to post

Doubt it.. because XP itself cost 100 dollars or more, and the motherboard,case,ram,harddrive, and burner... PLUS the monitor, I don't think 300 dollar budget will cut it againist Dell.

You can't match Dell's pricing but you can offer the customer a PC that can be upgradable in the future and most importantly........... customer support without making calls to another country, NOT being put on hold for long periods of time and you can speak in a language that they are familiar with.

BASIC PC?

Okay...............

Asus P4P800-MX (P4P800-VM if you want a video card option later)
Celeron-D 330
2x256 Corsair PC3200 value ram (offer 2x512)
Seagate 80gb SATA
Lite-On DVD burner
Enlight 7250 case

Cheap, proven technology and quality components. Will blow the doors off a $300 Dell.
