2 Gaming PC's Project

[Craig'sTech]

Hi, I'm looking to do a fun little project where I build 2 gaming computers for £400, quad core/dual core cpu's I don't care.

 

Just thought it would be good to do, buy all second hand parts and see what powerful gaming rig I can build.

 

I'd would like some other peoples ideas to go off.. so please I need help

 

Thanks

Above mention parts is exactly what was used in the Scrap Yard Wars series. (Well, at least a combination of their builds). I would check local craigslist if applicable (or any other website that you can sell items on in real life). I would stay away from sites such as eBay (or UK/whatever) equivalent, as they usually are  a bit more. It is still worth checking those sights to start at, however.
