| Beginner ![]() | I find it amazing how cheap it is now to make a fairly good gaming PC. Even over here in Australia where everything is much more expensive than in the US, I was able to build a gaming PC for one of my friends for $1500, including a 24" LCD monitor, which was the most expensive thing - $523. You just need to shop around and get the best prices. Of course, having someone who knows current hardware is a bonus too. |

| Gamer ![]() | ... Built my computer from scratch, it has a 2.8ghz P4 (got for free), 1GB DDR RAM (got 512 for free, other 512 for $40), 128MB Videocard ($55), System Case (free), 2x CD/DVD RW+ (free), 17" LCD (free but had a blown fuse, 50cents to fix), Mouse & Gaming Keyboard (both free). xPlod speakers (also free), Operating System Modified Windows XP Pro (Downloaded). 80gb +20gb HDD (free). Overall: $95.50 NZD Picked up most of the freebies from the "free bin" in computer stores, everything else from trade-me (online auctions). Operating System is Windows Royale which is a streamlined version of XP Pro, runs super fast and has additional themes and such. Wish I had a case like the above, mine is just a old tin&steel square thing...
