I don't know if any of my fellow newegg users do this, (Perhaps it's just because I build and sell computers, but I do find it amusing.) but I make wish lists of certain computers in certain price ranges for certain uses. What we're working on here is a home PC that can do basic things, but isn't going as low as on-board graphics or 256mb of RAM.
Our standards:
1GB RAM @ at least DDR2 667
Dedicated PCI-E x16 video card with at least a 128-bit interface
Dual core processor with at least 1MB L2 Cache.
SATA 3.0GB/s HDD and disk drive.
A case with at least both an intake and outtake fan.
Onboard sound.
(These are all bare minimums.)
Open box, OEM, and re-certified items are allowed.
Your objective, if you'd like to participate of course, is to beat the build posted above yours in price:performance. I'll start.
