The whole thing cost me less then a tenner (including the moniter) I got 256 Mb of RAM for 50p and the case out of a skip.. lol So, I've just ordered a load of stuff from ebuyers (seem cheap to me) and I built this computer just to see if I could (better to risk it on cheap stuff than spend a fortune and mess it up lol)
good for you & good practice!! strip it right down to bare case with no psu than put back together & use the right screws in the right places.
@parsley5 - my barebones system was from ebuyer - see my sig, it's gorjus ..and have fun building it as per ddp
