Re: Best value for money Dual core CPU at the moment?
The E7400 at £97 does look like a good CPU for what I need. Cheers for that recommendation.
I've not even looked for possible motherboards yet. However to keep costs down it would be using DDR2 ram, and possibly on-board graphics as that is all I would need. What about something like an Asus P5KPL-AM?

Oops. I meant E8400. Price was for the right CPU though.
It only really needs to be a budget motherboard as there won't be any overclocking or tinkering with the system. Just build it, install the OS and let it run. And onboard GPU, which I normally avoid, is fine as it isn't being used for more than the desktop.
Basically looking to build the whole system for under £200, which I think is easily possible.

Hopefully I will have the time to get the parts and build it next week. Looking forward to this. I love building new PCs from scratch. Always gives a nice feeling when they are complete and up and running.
Now just to work out what to do with all the spare Athlon XP motherboards I'm now going to have over.

Anyone else's "Skip" springs to mind! :twisted:
My Love for AMD is as Great as rkauers is for TOS!!
Then again, someone might find a use for them in the Re-Cycle Bin, or else take them all urself, cut them into smaller sections & use them as Door Stops! :nod:

Did you see the paperweights that a company are making out of old circuit boards? And another is making earrings and other jewellery too. Great ideas for recycling old computer hardware.
Disliking for AMD by any chance Kin?
