Pcp Rethought

FDSMAN · Post by **FDSMAN** » Sat May 21, 2005 11:06 pm

A gaming power house is not such a good idea after all, i'm going with the cheapest barebone, cheapest gaming CPU and cheapest everything

here they are

60 or 40 gb slim hdd
AMD Athalon (or intel what ever will last for the next 10 years on the low end)
Cheapest Ique Barebone
Slim floppy
slim cd(maybe dvd0
Crappy 10 inch LCD
either small keyboard or roll up
small optical mouse
Fanless power supply

and thats all

ok
the pc spec's says it needs: PSU: True 200W.
and I have found a power supply that says this

12V Micro Power Supply
- 200 Watt DC-DC ATX power supply (PSU)
- Over 95% efficiency, ultra compact
- 12V operation
- 100% silent
- Plugs directly into the moterboard ATX connector

is it compatible?

If it's really bare bones, drop the floppy drive. And while you're at it, the CD-Drive too.

I don't even have a hard drive on my computer...

Why don't ypu make one thread about this and post all your updates in there, instead of the 8 you've got going for the same topic. Better yet, talk about this in one of your 3 forums.

Yeah, no offense, but one thread is enough.

And again, whats the point of the floppy?

I agree. The floppy drive isnt nesisary, and it just takes up a lot of space. If you really want a floppy drive, just get an external one, and connect it when you need it.

well, the floppy I can drop but the cd and the hdd I can't live without,

sorry to hear that mullet man doesn't have a hdd but how would he run windows?

Mind you I am building a Portable Gaming Machine

What do you want us to say? This is hardly barebones, and you only went down in quality for the HDD (and things can get much worse than 40gig) and supposedly the mobo (although you forgot to mention the CPU speed).

Yeah, see, my actual computer has no hdd. This Mac OS 9 I'm using has one, but it's not the most favorable computer...

Also, I just realized this thread's title says "pcp".
Heh, druggie.
