Yeah, thanks anyway. Much appreciated. =)

Welp, I don't have a standard PSU, just the slim one (as originally linked above). I suppose I'll be sticking with one of SLAYR's options.

I quite like the first one since it's definitely a money-saver coming from Newegg's promo. My only problem is, will my PSU fit fine in there? I'm asking this because I fear it may not have a spot to latch onto or will overlap the motherboard, causing me to return it.

Hi guys, so I'm having a hard time upgrading an old PC. I'm looking for a inexpensive (25-40$ USD) slimline case that'll support this shape of power supply and this motherboard. Any help will be appreciated. No GPU is going into this case, just the basics for light browsing / office work.

I agree my friend. Will probably put an SSD inside for the boot-up. Thanks for seconding =)

Hey looking good! I'll keep this thread still open for answers for a little while longer. Price is perfectly fine, though. =)

Way over budget...

Well, I'm turning to the community that could help me find parts for a $150 office PC. No gaming, no heavy animation: just office work. I have a a 320GB seagate barracuda hard drive, a seasonic ss 300W powersupply 80+ bronze, and 1x4 GB kingston hyperx RAM. All I need is a cheap dual-core processor, a motherboard, and a small case. I won't be putting any load on this PC. I'll simply be browsing the web, sending e-mails, and typing letters or essays on MS word. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help! I'll head over to the local Microcenter and pick up a BGA 413 heatsink.

Does anyone know what heatsink is being used for this old motherboard? The MOBO has a pre-installed mini processor that came with its own heatsink. I have to find a replacement for the heatsink because it broke. If you're wondering, this is only a school work / browsing the net PC.

Hi, You are of course able to overclock your GPU due to most being advertised for overclocking purposes. As said by others previously, make sure you do a software OC only and do not physically modify your GPU. Your warranty will not be void.

I'd be glad if the price is way lower than my guess.

Mostly paying for the brand. A tad bit on the technology, but kids only care about the brand name.

I'll be guessing they'll cost around $1250. Time to dig through my various pockets for spare change!

Hi, So here's my first build without an SSD. I bought an SSD a month later due to having the same budget of $850. It's serving me very well.
