    trying to find the cheepest possible system to play cod2...

    I had a decent computer..once.. a long time ago, but it went KAPUT, and my mum has just recently baught a iMac which is bloody good but its a pain in the ass for games. and like i said its am my mums and i mostly live with my dad
    so im looking for the cheepest possible system to be able to play cod2 at 1024x640 obviously higher is better but i can cope with that...
    but im not sure what im looking for if i will spend to much or not enough for what i need.

    Thank's Tom.

    I've got a 2004 build that I could be willing to say goodbye to. Has a good CPU and Radeon X800 XT in it. Should be able to run COD2 in its sleep.

    Price?
    Components?
    mainly im looking for something for £200 obviously second hand but obviously willing to go to further which atm is what i might have to do...if i can work out the collection issue with the other fellow

    thanks tom.

    Thank's Tom.

    You can find a system on ebay for £50-75 that would run this easily (e.g. 3ghz pentium 4).

    Well, I'm in North London, should be easy enough to do with any sort of vehicle.

    17" Iiyama TFT
    CPU: Athlon 64 3500+ (2.2 Ghz)
    GPU: Radeon X800 XT 256MB
    MEM: 2x Corsair XMS PC3200 DDR400
    HDD: 60GB Maxtor 7200 RPM
    PSU: 500W w/ 120mm fan and blue led

    Cooling:
    Zalman All-Copper Heatsink w/ 90mm fan
    120mm Case fan

    Also has a TV Card in case you wanna watch television on the pc. And I can throw in the Logitech UltraX keyboard which won't be much use to me if I sell the machine.

    The Location is a lot easyer to get to, and if it being easyer id meet you at a half way point to collect.
    if you have no sold it yet that is.

    My old rig could run cod2 but have to have settings low to up frames rates at a more comfortable level. ati radeon 9200se, amd 2.2 athlon, 2x 512 ram ddr400. Hope spiders are guarding my old motherboard from static in the protective bag...
