G'day Guy's,
With winter coming on and less power from the solar our main P4 computer is the biggest power hog so I decided to set a $1,000 budget to make a high end low power computer.
I got this power supply and the enclosure for it
**broken link removed**
Also this motherboard
**broken link removed**
The cpu I got is a i5-750 quad core 64 bit Intel and I got 4 gig of DDR3 1333 ram, a WD 500 gig HD and a 19" wide screen LG LCD monitor that only draws 25 watts.
The total cost came $1,028 which although slightly over budget it gives me a cheap high end computer.
I have an old case I can use and keyboard, mouse ,DVD burner so for the foreseeable future this computer should see me right. I got a OEM legal winblows 7 premuim for $108 which I didn't included in the computer build.
Cheers Bryan
