I'm struggling to cut prices for this rig that I might build for my dad. It's for our other house, so it doesn't need strong graphics or processing, but I'd like it to be decent. I've considered either getting a stronger graphics card (for ~50 bucks) that will hold it's own memory, OR get 256 or 512mb more RAM for ~$25-$50), so that the onboard will have some system memory to feed on w/ out interference. Other than that, I'm still trying to figure out how to get this thing down...I'm looking for sub-$600 pricing here, anyone see any possibilities?
I know I can get small things like the fans at a lower price (trying to be quietish w/ them though), and I know I can get a wireless-B wireless card, but the Linksys Wireless-B one sucks horribly (and the network is G)....other than that I'm stumped.
