Hey can anyone help me set up a build that is cheap and has a minimal power output. Stress on the minimal power output...

This computer wont have much of anything on it and it wont be used for multitasking or gaming really.

I can give ya a few things here...

-no fancy cases or lights
-256/512 MB RAM
-low temps plz
-no speakers/mouse/keyboard needed
-small monitor with low power output
-20GB HDD will due

TIA (Thanks in advance)

Just look around for a barebones system.

Tigerdirect or newegg..

600 dollars can do you well

MSI K8N NEO4-F - 80

eVGA 6600GT - 150

Corsair Valuselect 512MB - 50

80GB sata150 seagate barracuda hdd - 65 (do you need hdd)

AMD AThlon 64 3000+ - 146

linkworld beige case - 20

Whoa, I can't believe I just did that. But if it's not for gaming, then just get a cheap Dell.

Or one of HPs' $250 desktop computers.

Neither can I...can we say "flaming metal deathtrap".

I agree that a cheap Socket A system would be good.

Why not buy a used pc off of ebay? You can get one better than what you described for between $50.00-125.00
