I'm trying to build a mini pc, but i have no idea how to, lol if anyone has any good links or info on some good cases it would help me out alot, and also prices i have no idea what the prices are for this. i was lookin at a few Iwill's and tehy seem coo, like 180 for a case mobo, basically barebones all i would need is a cpu, hard drive, and memory and video card.

 

just get a Shuttle barebones system, then buy parts depending on what you need it for. Hard drive, CPU, video card, memory, and optical drive....floppy optional.

My PC is made from a Shuttle XPC barebones and has no problems. I love it!

PS don't forget to the the cdr/dvd rom. I'm thinking of removing my floppy drive to replace with a harddrive and using pen drives instead of floppies. Just a thought

 

yea dvd rom will be sweet for college heheheh, i'm thinking to keep the price down, just buy some less decent parts for the rig i have now that will stay at home, and keep what i have here for my mini pc, i currently have a stick of 512 mb pc 2700, anthlon xp 2200, and a 80 gig hard drive, the video card i'll probably upgrade to the new pc, and the hd, but the momery i can keep for the new rig, and i might go with a p4 instead, what do you guys think of the Iwill rigs?

 

i like this one, what do you guys think...
