| First pc has got a crappy vidcard (unless he's not into gaming), sucky RAM (SDR, blah, pr0lly bad mobo too!) and quiet expensive. Second PC sound like a second hand one. GF3 classic? Oldie! My suggestion: XP1800+: 100€ KX-333 + 256 DDR: 125+80€ 17" or 19" CRT: 200/250€ GF4 Ti4200: 160€ DVD: 50€ Seagate 60GB: 100€ Volcano 7 with papst: 35€ Cheapo case, mouse & keyb: 60€ Total: 785€ / 835€ (with 19"CRT) Very low price for a kickass GamePC (in my humble opinion). If you got troubles find low prices... search harder. => pricewatch on tweakers.net and german shops (funcomputer.de) |
