Default Help me build the cheapest P4 system
Title says it all. Help me build the cheapest P4 system that you possibly can.

No case, OS, keyboard & mouse, monitor or any other peripherals needed.

Just need
Cpu (I have a cooler already)
Mobo (ddr2 if possible and onboard gpu)
Small OS drive 20-80gb (already have a storage drive)
PSU (have an old 270w if that is good enough)

I'm selling my sig rig so I can buy some things I want for my car so I only need a computer for internet and music.

Any site is fine to buy from, ebay, newegg, ocn users, ect.

Thanks

may I ask what do you need these parts for?

Nvm just read first post lol I have a P4 lying around somewhere only problem is I lent it to my cousin so he could practice lapping a cpu before he did his. and tbf it could do with a better attempt.




There is some pics of it I think it is either the 3.0Ghz or 3.2Ghz one, you can have it, if you pay for postage which is a lot cheaper than the $80 newegg want for one. I think postage is only like £5-6 / $9-10 but I could find out for you if your interested

Why p4?

You can get the e5200 for $64 on newegg, while the p4 costs $80 iirc.
