ANOTHER COMPUTER BUILDOFF - but more challenge

[LienusLateTips]

You have to build a computer within $400 CAD. Thats sounds easy, but this is CAD. I can barely get a A8 system in there.

 

Will only be judged on price to performance and the power supply. NO SKIMPING ON POWER SUPPLIES.

This made me laugh but not in the "ya... Right." way!

 

I see what you mean but all that was hinted at was that it had to work... But a foot warmer is a added bonus. (I just died of laughter... rip)

Should we include HDD in this build?

HDD or SSD, don't really care about storage as long as it does not bottleneck. So as a cheat, you could just include a 30G SSD.

Thread moved to General Discussion.

Just so we're clear, the New Builds and Planning sub-forum is not for posting "build-offs" or whatever. This is a sub-forum for actual builds that you are trying to make a reality, or plans on doing something.
