Low Cost Case

[GhostDawg]

Anybody know where I may be able to buy a case with mobo, cpu, floppy drive and maybe ram and or other componants already installed?

I need to put together a system for a nephew of mine and money is an issue.

Thnx.

My local shop sells cases with 300W PSU's, keyboard, mouse and speakers for under 90bucks, that's a rather good deal. Any large'ish computer store near you should carry similar offers, those out of the storage, internet based kinda shops are normally best for cheap stuff.

You seem to want a barebones kit. Look around, some online dealers have good deals.

I'm thinking of buying this setup from compgeeks.com. What do you think of it, the pros & cons?

Feedback is needed, especially about the mobo.

Thnx.

It looks decent enought to warrant a higher price. I own a smaller version of that chassis (grey too). Plus I just picked up a new Athlon XP MoBo (Gigabyte) and CPU. I will tell you that the chassis was a steal at $50, that is a common chassis in the area (or was a few years ago), the MoBo retails for $100 to $140 ( I got it for $105). So right there you are about half of what I paid, and I still havent thrown a floppy in there. research the Iwill board and make sure that the chipset is decent (looks like a Via IIRC) and that nobody was overly pissed about anything that really matters (like Overclocking is obviously as a stupid concern here).

It may be a better mobo and comes wit cpu. I can have them add the keyboard, mouse, cd & floppy drives to make sure they match up color wise with the case and add the rest myself.

Pros & cons welcome.

I ended up ordering this barebones system. I haven't started putting it together yet, need HD & memory.

Thnx for the help.
