My dad is the first person in this world (lol) who funded my first personal computer, 3k+ in year 1990s is really a huge sum of money. So without doubt he is the person to thank for what i am today. And what else could be better than giving him a new computer during CNY ^_^
Build order after the picture, if you care. This PC only costs 1k (monitor not included), compare to what we paid back in the time, computer has been getting cheaper and cheaper.
Motherboard = Gigabyte G31M-ES2L = RM185
CPU = Intel Pentium E5200 (Dual-core) = RM230
RAM = Kingston Value Ram 2GB, 1 pcs. save another slot for future upgrade. = RM75
Harddisk = Seagate Baracuda 320GB = RM160
Casing = Cooler Master GLite *something* = RM160 + a huge sucker fan for RM20
Power Supply = Tornado 650W = RM65
All these add up to around RM900. Its not cutting edge (upgradable to C2Quad), but powerful enough for daddy to download videos, transcoding, video editing, burn DVD, make audio CD, surf net, import photos...
