I don't know if this qualifies as a build....but...
I've been brushing up on some modding knowledge and such and have come to the conclusion that I should try out some of these things on a "junk" stock system that's currently sitting in my cellar. If everything goes well hopefully I can upgrade the guts of this into a nice light gamer, or something that better suites my needs for budget rendering (yes i said it.)
Since i'm currently a student this may take a much longer time than i'd like. So without further explanation... here's the build/mod explanation.
Current Savings until next component: $30
*Usable* OLD Spare parts lists (functioning)
120 gb drive
350w psu
crappy oem dell and emachine cases
ddr2 1gb stick
Wanted Components
Mobo
Cpu
Ram
SSD?
Gpu?
Possible psu upgrade depends on above
Wanted Mods
Cable sleeving
Side window install
Custom Paint?
Lighting
Can't decide what to do with the face plate if i mod an old case or i'd paint one and such
