Can someone please build me (ie suggest parts) a cheap 64bit machine (perhaps a shuttle) i'm not bothered about mass amounts of ram atm, i can add them later, i just want: A good motherboard A good processor bout 256mb or more a graphics card better or equal to a 9800Pro DVD-Rom Drive 60GB + (sata preferably) ie: a working pc, with a very good motherboard / processor and a reasonable graphics card, i can add to it later as i have said.. from a somewhere that supplies to the UK
Socket 754 is cheaper and utilises a single-channel memory setup. Socket 939 is more expensive, uses dual-channel memory, but is more of a future-proof setup. As far as Shuttle or other SFF (Small FormFactor) systems go, you'll be limited to the expansion you can have. Additionally your cooling options will be severly limited, although most SFF's come with special coolers packaged in.
