New Budget Build, Craigslist style!

It's amazing what a little Craigslist surfing can produce! Some guy was selling his rig so I snatched it up quick, after some fine tuned haggling. So I present to you, my new budget rig. This is my main desktop, laptop died and I sold it, used some of the cash from that to buy this hardware. Figured I'd build one after not having one for quite some time. I think I did pretty good.

Pentium Dual-Core E6500 2.93GHz CPU and a Gigabyte G31M-ES2L motherboard with 4 gigs of Kingston ValueRam DDR2-800 RAM and a Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 1 gig w/HDMI. A 500 gig WD SATA drive with an el-cheapo Polaroid DVDRW drive. PSU, Antec Earthwatts 430 watt, all in a ****ty Gateway case with a Dell 20 inch widescreen monitor, nice wireless Microshaft KB and mouse. Got the whole rig for $200. I managed to shave $50 of of the asking price. The hardware looked fairly new and I got all the boxes, disks and manuals/guides with everything and the inside was well kept, nice, tidy and kleeen, so all in all a good buy. Should hold me off until my Sandy-Bridge rig gets built. Still need to get a new cooler for it b4 I start overclocking this mega beast of a machine, jk. I broke the nice one it had on it. I dropped it. Oh well.

Not a bad deal even if you bounced the hsf off the ground. lol Guess I should surf craigslist more often (I could use more parts for my Nova). lol
