Title: Barebones
Post by: Janice on July 30, 2011, 05:27:18 AM

Ive been looking around for fairly cheap mobo+cpu+memory barebones combos. Thought I'd ask to see if anyone else may have seen any links to any.

Haven't looked at anything recently, but Tiger Direct and Newegg both sell combo kits.  I picked up a decent little computer kit from TD last year for $200.

TD has a decent quad core AMD  barebones system for $200. The only thing I'm not quite happy with was the motherboard. I THINK it was a Zotac.

That was one of the ones I bought... I think the mobo was made by Biostar.  I had some driver issues at first but got everything working.
