who's got a bitsa?

Who's got a bitsa? i.e a computer that you have pulled together from various bits you have accumulated? mine's gigabyte socket 478 mobo, celeron D 2.53GHz with 2GB of RAM (4x512MB all different sorts), Ti4200 Nvidia graphics, 160GB ata and a 250GB sata drive all in some indeterminate thermalTake case...interestingly the mobo and video card were supposed to be broken and the fan was broke on the video card so I pillaged the cooling fan off a socket7 cpu sink and jammed it on the card and it goes great...all round it looks like crap but runs like a dream...please share :o)

MEEEEEEEEEE! KM4M MSI M/bd, AMD XP2700,1GB Ram, 128mb FX5200 graphics card. Almost all built from 2nd hand parts and goes great. Not the most modern of equipment but does all that I require.

Mystic miss = troll celerons are my favourite and it was only $35 off TM...just had a thought...how much did your "bitsa" system cost? I tallied mine up to about $120 for the box, not including keyboard etc

.... celeron 2.6ghz, 768mb ram, nvidia fx5500. 2x 40gb's

Re #4 celeron D's were better than the straight celerons..

Stole part of it off my brother when he joined the navy, accumulated the rest from other pc's, don't think i paid for any of it

Re #8 & #9 pay no heed to mystic-miscreant, she's a hit-and-run type...and woogmo, you win the prize for cheapest PC :)

120..thats a cheap bitza Mine are all bitza's..bout 5 of them.Slightly more expensive to put together than your's as that was when I was into quality bits..Now I don;t care so anything goes when this lot explode.

... Everything on this system was found/obtained with no money apart from the DVD drive and HDD which were purchased new...... Athlon 64 3200+ 1gb DDR RAM, 250gb SATA, 7600GS video card....
Motehrboard/cpu was in a box of rubbish, was told it wouldnt boot anything, took it home, played with the BIOS and got it booting...was still a bit touchy so upgraded BIOS and its been great since.
Was originally given a Geforce 6600
video card by a friend who upgraded to a 7600GS, then he upgraded to PCI-X so I got the 7600 instead :) Now I have a ati X1900 X-fire 512mb sitting here I cant use as Im still on AGP.. (sigh) maybe should sell it here...
