Been working out a HTPC for my parents. Trying to build it on the cheap so I am using some spare parts like the HDD and CD/DVD-ROM but that's about it. Going for small and cheap so tell me what you guys think?
Case:
IN WIN IW-BT611T.300SL Silver Best Performed 0.8mm SECC Japanese Steel metal MicroATX Desktop Computer Case 300W Power Supply - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16811108060)
Motherboard:
XFX MG-630i-7109 LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16813141007)
Processor:
Intel Pentium E2160 Allendale 1.8GHz 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16819116036)
Memory:
Kingston 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820134487)
Seems like a good all around system with not so bad graphics abilities(for parents at least and maybe a couple older games like WoW or something for me). Dunno if you guys have any others suggestions, the price is nice at $221 or just under $250 shipped.
