I think I've got it all. What do you guys think? Any parts I'm missing? Oh, and another question. Will the CD/DVD ROM burn discs? (this seems like it is a stupid question)
So yeah. After all of that, I still have some breathing room. (My budget was $1,000). After all of the shipping costs, I'm gonna say I'll have $50 left (rough estimate). Anything I could upgrade for $50? Or maybe get some accessories? I dunno. What do you think?
Do you have anything you could recycle off of your old desktops like your CD/DVD ROM ? it saves a couple of bucks trust me. I saved 20$ on a ROM and bought a better Graphics card.
What kind of monitor do you have? how old is it? Do you have things like the Power and etc.
