DIY Computer
January 27, 2008
Lifehacker led me to a cool tech blog put together by a Georgia Tech student that offers tech news, reviews and guides. Instructions to put together a great $200 pc were listed this weekend. Specs for this DIY model are: 1.2GHz Intel Celeron 220 processor, 1GB DDR2 RAM, 250GB SATA hard drive and a small 90W power supply. This does not include a case, but designer Paul Stamatiou says you don’t necessarily need one. Even so, he offers an economical suggestion if you think it’s a must.
Julian and I are working on an office space in our spare room and I think this pc would be just the thing. Or as Stamatiou suggests, use it as storage for your home theater and/or projector, which we are also in the market for.
Heh heh – you definitely don’t _need_ a case. My readers show how a little ingenuity and a complete disregard for aesthetics can serve you well.
