Right, well my sister managed to kill her rather nice AOpen EZ18, (think the motherboard is buggered) so I plan to strip it down and use the components to build a media machine![]()
So the Components. Still got the PSU from the old one (it works fine) and Hard Disk/DVD Drive. So really looking at a Mobo/Processor/RAM. Possibly a soundcard, but I'll see what onboard is like first. Will eventually be replaced though
Mobo - http://linitx.com/product_info.php?c...oducts_id=1044 £100 inc Del.
RAM - http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/119481 (works out at £20.99 inc Google Checkout, with free delivery.)
Would this work? And is the 1.5ghz CPU going to be nippy enough to run windows/winamp or itunes/possibly a DivX movie (if I get a nice telly)? Not particularly worried about HD yet, though that would be nice too![]()
Oh, and if anyone can find that lot any cheaper, it would be much appreciated. Cheers for any help.

I was hoping you were going to say double that budget I will have a look around for something which will be a little more powerful but I think you got the best possible in your price range. No chance of you going with micro-atx as you will get more bang for your buck..........

itx hasn't died out if anything it has rapidly grown they have just released an even smaller form factor called pico-itx. Itx is expensive though I was going to tell you to buy the commell lv-676 and a e4300 and 1gb of ram until I saw your budget.
