    This is just the case, motherboard, and power supply. The FREE Sempron 2600+ is the retail version so a Heat Sink is included. You still need memory, CD-Rom, hard drive, and cables. But not a bad system...

    That's a heckuva deal. Most people have a spare HD & CDROM laying around. Throw in $40 worth of RAM and you have a nice little system for under $300. :cheers:

    Arg! If I didn't just make that trip! This would be a great little system for maybe a media PC or something. *Sigh*

    The only problem is that it uses a Via chipset, so it probably won't overclock too well. But for the price, that's excusable. BTW, I've actually looked at and handled a few of Biostar's socket A SFF machines and they were pretty decent. Also, the socket A versions I saw used the retail heatsink and didn't come with a heatpipe like the Shuttle systems. But it ran cool none the less.

    i built a biostar via KM400a system for the rents, and it was a very stable machine running folding@home 24/7 for 2 months(i built it long before they came to town to pick it up ;D ) i have a sempron64 2600+ and they run very cool and have a decent performance even with 128k cache.

    Darn. I wish I had the money as well. I've been looking for something I could use to run a small web server running Windows 2003. That would have done it. Ah well... maybe next time.
