Hi everyone,
I really need to upgrade my PC. In fact, in effect I need an entirely new PC. Here are my specs:
Abit Kt7A Mobo
2 x 256MB 133Mhz SD-RAM
Athlon TB 1.4Ghz
Albatron GeForce 4 Ti4200
Seagate 90GB HD
A crap case that gets so hot I have to take the side off
Plus other stuff like bog standard soundcard and DVD ROM etc.
Now, I really can't afford to get a whole new PC, I was looking at it the other day, and if I got all the parts I wanted, it'd come to about £500, which I just can't spare. Then, I across the following:
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?BB-6430BUB
which I thought would tide me over nicely for another year or so until I have some more money. The only thing is, I'm not sure how good the mobo and stuff will be, and whether £200 is a fair price. Has anyone here ever bought one of these "barebones" things from Novatech?
Oh, and I'd rather have AGP than PCI-express at the moment because I don't really want to buy another graphics card.
So, can anyone tell me what they reckon to this thing?
Reps to the helpful ones!
