Running Crysis On A $10.70 AUD Budget

[lowaltitude]

Today, while in a local second hand tech shop, I was given a challenge by my friend, that challenge is to build a rig capable of running crysis on a budget of $10.70 AUD.
So I set off to find some parts.
There will be pics when i get some
 

Part List (updated regularly to incorporate new parts found)

I was given a few rules, by my friend:

1. Obviously it must run crysis (or at least the benchmark)

2. Parts found lying by the side of the road are acceptable

3. Parts cannot be directly donated to me for the purposes of the build

DAY 1:
I managed to purchase an Intel Pentium D 820 for $0.50 and scored a thermaltake case on the side of the road

CASH Remaining: $10.20

Heres kinda an example of what you could buy.

I'm sure you could find a cheaper motherboard

Good luck
