Default New PC competition for $100

Ok. I'm gonna get a new PC with my bonus that begins processing on the 19th. I'm doing this because I'm lazy.

Here's the juicy part. I'll give someone $100 American to set up the best PC possible for the cheapest possible. I'm asking that its built, has at LEAST Windows XP SP2 legally installed, and me with a CD of it, and is shipped for under a grand.

The only conditions are that it has to be under $1000, and that it has to have maximum gaming possibilities, especially EQ2. I plan on getting my own 24" LCD and I don't want the total cost to be over $1300.


It will probably be early April before I buy it, so keep that in mind.


I want you to know that I'm absolutely good for the cash, at the time that I'll be ready to buy it, and if I have to, I'll purchase the parts when I can, and paypal the winnings to the winner.

Man shipping kills it =/

Also do MIRs count?

If MIRs don't count and it needs to be under $1k shipped and assuming you have mouse keyboard already:

https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion...asp?ID=5877714

$984.05 shipped to Missouri, which is where you live or close I think. I couldn't use my zipcode cuz it adds taxes ;p

Illinois. And I can't view that link. I also do not need a mouse or keyboard. Also, maybe I'm retarded, but what's MIR? Besides a Russian space station.

HAHAHA no, MIRs don't count. The reason I'm doing this is because I'm lazy. I can't believe I didn't see that....

Not buying until April you might be able to sneak a E8400 in there, but not sure yet as quantities are still hard to find. Also might be able to squeeze an 8800GT if the 9800 series coming out in the next couple of weeks drive prices down. Hard to say though, shit changes in the hardware scene really fast.

Ok, I'll leave this up until tomorrow, just in case someone sneaks another one in, and then I'll decide. Looks like its gonna be Gaige.
