Well I never like to recommend ebay (to many sharks out there) but at times what a great place to get computer parts new or used.
For my project I’ve been nosing around for motherboard, ram and cpu, seeing if I could get a mad deal and mad is the keyword here.
In total so far I have spent just £39.50 for a mother board bundle (second-hand) including CPU, and Ram and get this it also comes with external water cooling. I must be mad!
Water cooling not for the faint of heart, and second- hand as well, pass me some dry towels before I try this out, I have a feeling I’m going to get wet.
Oh well in for a penny and all that!
Full Spec so far, photos will be uploaded shortly. http://vistasquad.co.uk/photos/project_vistasquad/default.aspx
Pentium 4 2.8 GHz, ASRock P4i65G motherboard and 1GB ram. The external water cooling comes in the form of Thermaltake Aquarius III.
Well I will start to build and keep my fingers crossed, may see if I can blag some more ram or graphics card from a friend that’s upgrading his system. Might cost me a few beers though!
