[Peter Snow] Now, this is just a bit of fun...[/Peter Snow]
Right, for a laugh, go to eBuyer (has to be all from this website), and build the cheapest possible fully functioning PC you can - power not an issue, it just has to have all the bits needed to work.
So base unit stuff; CPU, RAM, Motherboard, etc.
Monitor, Speakers, Mouse, Keyboard.
Everything apart from Windows really.
Lets see just how cheap you can build a fully functioning office-type PC.

Who wants to beat me? :P
£40 Base unit
£5 monitor
£5.33 periperals
Thats £50.33 + P&P So say £60 :)
Not quite eBuyer but best working PC setup you can build online (without resorting to eBay).
Mobo £16 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=59335
2300 Semp £32 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=72522
Good heatsink £5 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=78047
256 DDR £23 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=36557
Radeon 7000 32mb £16 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=59320
Maxtor 40gig £29 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=59320
Case £10 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=63769
PSU ANTEC (I REFUSE TO BUY CACK PSU'S) £28 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=63769
CD RW 24/10/40 £7 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=80278
Floppy £4 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=80278
How bout that? case/psu/mobo with sound and lan/cpu/heatsink/plenty ram/good vid card/good psu/good burner :) £170 inc vat :D
Totally upgradeable.....faster chip...more ram....better vid card...it'll take it all later on. If you want to improve ONE thing....bin the mobo..spend £20 more on an Nforce2....swap the 256 for 2x128....bingo...dual ram :)
The PSU will go to the next machine..so will the burner...the vid card is good enough for most stuff...god heatsink, so no worries there....pleased with this lot :)
OEM XP Home for £57 and you are SORTED :D
this would probably run most games from 3 years ago with no hassle at all :)
Mmm, smell the blood and pain caused by working on a cheap ebuyer case!
