its a motherboard cpu combo (1.2 Ghz Athlon). It has onboard video and nic. If you mention price watch you should be able to get it for $153. You can also get 128mb of ddr for $53 from them. Looks like they also have a case with psu for $29 but I dont know what the shipping would be.


But

$153 cpu/mobo/video/nic/sound
$53 ram
$29 case/psu
$0 Old HD you probably have setting arround some where
___________
$235 + S$H

Crucial has 128 mb of DDR (PC2100) for $25. And who needs a case? :D

Edit: Also, they only have a 4.3 rating on Resellerratings.com, which isn't enough for me. Others may be more risky than I. :D

Yeah, not bad, but I would rather spend the extra $89 at mwave.com and get a decent case and mobo. From what I've heard, mwave.com is pretty reliable for returns and such.

$324 + s&h for the Epox mobo, 128mb pc2100, 1.2ghz (266fsb) tbird, with an Enlight case and power supply.

hmm does that epox have onboard sound and video and nic ?? Im pretty sure it doesnt. video+nick you looking at at least another $20 bucks.

btw you can get the same mobo that Im talking about from www.ditcorp.com for 69 bucks and 1 gig chip for $100 128 megs of ddr for 29 bucks. I just didnt want to mention it because I dont want to pimp for the company that I will be working for too much :)

I also like to mention that as the topic states this is a great price for a "folding" box I dont know why you need a good mobo and case? for a folding box but hey its your money. Me Im just going to build shelves and start stacking. (right after the wedding that is)

Misses sith itsn't going to like that too much blaken lol

We have an agreement I get a computer room she does the dishes LOL j/k :D

[Mad_Capr]

I already have extra NIC's and video cards.

Besides, even if it is just a folding box now, I don't like to limit my options for later. Besides, this is "Overclockers.com" and I can almost guarantee that the Epox board would be a much better performer than the one with integrated nic and vid.

I have an agreement with my (fifteen year younger than me) girlfriend, I have the whole house full of computers and she does the dishes, does the laundry, cleans the house, mows the lawn and cleans the gutters. :p

Tell me you are kidding! No one could put up with so many computers in one house! :)

I still think you missing the whole point mad_capr this was supose to be a post on how to build the cheapest "folding" box possible not about quality. Its nice that you have the extra nics and video cards. This post then wasnt for you its for the people that want to add on another folding box of as little money as possible.

I read you loud and clear Mord-Sith. This type (or similar) of setup yealds 1.33 mhz for me with $90.00 1.2 AXIA, usually at default voltages, (less heat and cheaper psu) with cheap hsf combinations. Built in video requires less power and is a lot less heat than cheap old video cards, or worse yesterdays performance cards. small hd is all you need. If you are trying to build "folding" rigs, doller for dollar you come out way ahead compared to buying a better board and running 1500. I only have a couple of ddr boards but aside from that I have them all, Abit, Asus, Gigabyte, Chaintech, Ampron, PcChips, Iwill, no Ecs, but they are similar to boards that I have. If I were to add any more folding rigs I would have no need for anything but All in one boards. :)

I didn't miss your point, I just disagree with the concept. Anyway, to each his own..
