Looking to build cheapest computer

[MarxSoccer]

You might have come to this thread thinking, "Ugh, another noob who wants a kickass gaming computer but only has $200."

No. I want to build a CHEAP computer. Cheap being the keyword. Yes I would want internet on it, I would probably only use it for AIM, Email, and browsing around my forums.

If anyone could put together a list, or maybe even if you have some old cheap anythign laying around, talk to me about a price. Thanks!

Edit: How about a barebone system? I'm thinking AMD on this one, but let me know what you think:

Under 200 beat that. Plus Keyboard and Mouse haha. You could get the ram up top but I picked DDR 400 PC3200 ram. Faster. Hope this helped you out.

You think I should go with Intel, seens how it won't be the nicest gaming computer haha. And are you talking about the ones I posted up there? I think their both Foxcon, but the Intel is 800mhz and the AMD is 333mhz.

 

[rdcmmnst]

i would go with intel for what you are doing.

Change what you want, but for the price, this PC can do anything you can throw at it thanks to the AMD Athlon64, which makes Intel look LOUSY.
