$400 rig?
I need a few parts but I haven't kept up with current technology since high school (7 years ago). As such I dont know whats what anymore, if I'm lucky you guys can help. I need:
Motherboard (SATA and PATA capable) CPU Ram Video Card? Audio? Wireless Internet I have everything else, I think. I'm trying to do this on a small budget and most of my time is spent online or in gimp. I use linux and if you need more info just ask. Thanks, Joseph |

400$? You'd prolly be better off getting a Dell then building. I think you can get them with Ubuntu now.

-CPU: Intel E2140 $81
-Motherboard: P5LD2 R2.0 $85 -Ram: Corsair VS 1GB $37 -Video & Audio: Onboard -Hard drive: Seagate 7200.10 160GB SATA $54 -Optical: Liteon SATA $38 -PSU & Case: Foxconn TS-1 $45 Without the wireless NIC, that comes to a total of ~$340. If you wish to spend some more, a worthwhile upgrade would be the E4300 and add ~$36. The closest dell is the E521 ($369) which comes Vista home and inferior specs.

And here is a good wireless card for $21:

Only $14) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833180030 Then again...maybe the wireless is a priority: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833127218
