I agree.
Reason I asked was becuase I JUST finished building a sweet a$$ system for a firend of mine and it was under $600 even with a HDD.
Here are the specs of that system:
AMD Athlon XP 1700+ @ 2100Mhz @168FSB (1.8 Vcore)
ABIT NF7-S MB
CORSAIR 512MB PC3000 DDR RAM (used)
Thermatake SK7 w/ Sunon 80mm case fan
Toshiba Combo DVD/CDRW/CDROM 16x32x10x40
Ever Case Black Case w/ 300W PSU
Floppy Drive
Gainwand Ti4200 64MB AGP8X Video
+(1) Sunon 80mm case fan (rear exhaust)
Total ~$509
I figure you dont buy the HSF solution and invest about $150-$200 in a good water cooling unit and you are done!
OR
One other idea is you allow your firend to support my cause and let me build a watercooled Shuttle SN41G2 Nvidia nForce2/MCP-T system. I REALLY WANT SOMEONE TO SPONSER ME!!! I BUILD IT AND TAKE CREDIT, YOU OWN AND KEEP IT!
