|  Building Cheap Computer I'm building a cheap computer just for using the internet and using office utilities. I'm not sure about the motherboard though. Do you think I should get this motherboard (Is SiS anygood?) I just want something that is cheap and reliable. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16813131518R Or should I get an intel based 865G? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16813128236R

| I know that you're going for cheap, but the PSU in your case will probably crap out on you or be DOA. Acheap case with a PSU means a super-cheap PSU. Look at Antec or Thermaltake. http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec....iteria=BA20580 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811133157 http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec....iteria=BA21509 http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...uctCode=140034 http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...uctCode=273022
