[case(s)]

Okay so here is a  link to the case(s): http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007583%2050001998%20600006306&IsNodeId=1&name=MicroATX%20Mini%20Tower
They are all the same thing, but different colors and different side panels. It is your choice to choose which one! This case has the biggest bang for the buck that I can find. It is around 70$ average in price for the case and 500w power-supply combo! It will support up to 4 hard drives, or 2 drives and 2 card readers. Later on you can really up the airflow by adding one 120mm intake fan and two more 80mm out take fans.

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131657
Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103681
for about 8$ more you can get the 3.2ghz version if you want.
Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145252
When the time comes, you can get a 4gb upgrade. 2gb roughly = 55$ and a decent 4gb set roughly = 100$

Okay so with this great core stuff it comes around to core price around: $267.96

I can't remember if you want me to help you find an hard drive and optical drive or not, however her are some suggestions:

Fast 500gb WD Hard drive:  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136320
Multi purpose DVD/CD RW: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106289

Now with those things It's $355.94

Leme know what you think!

Hello! I'm Josh the founder of this website and hopefully soon a great Oakdale/Riverbank airsoft clan/group/team/community, whatever you want to call it.

I hope you found registering an account wasn't too complicated!

Anyways, this is the area that we will be discussing whatever we want. While this is in the early stages of development, I need YOU to keep active on this forum too really bring out it's potential.
What exactly is the purpose of this whole website community thing? Imagine a place were you could go for ALL our information, planning, questions, tactics, rules, support, reviews, and just about anything airsoft related while still remaining a personal peace of web real estate that you could call you own? That's the goal that I'm striving for with this Forum.

*unfinished more to come later*

I've got a lot more improvements to do, and I am all ears for more suggestions, so if you have ideas, or need help with any of the features on this forum, please let me know! (you can reply to this topic with them)

I am going to be working hard at building an Airsoft community from the ground up, So this is a part of a series of polls that I am going to be making too collect data on what you guys want!
Feel free to comment and and suggestions to this. Infact, if you want to start your own poll's feel free!

Closing notes: I am very impressed with some of the hardware that is out right now for this type of build. The processor is a really good find, and there is the possibility to unlock 1 or 2 of the disabled cores on it to make it a Quad Core CPU. The motherboard, unlike anything "cheap" from Intel supports SATA 6.0 and the new USB 3.0- this makes tremendous value because when these formats become standard, you wont have to upgrade as soon, saving you money in the long run. This build has the motherboard, power supply, and many more other components ready to take on a big gaming upgrade. How the powerful HD 4250 integrated graphics that come with the board should be plenty powerful for Windows 7, light gaming, smooth DVD playback, and more! You can also add 2 more 120mm intake fans that will greatly upgrade the thermal dynamics of the case later down the road. I think you should take note that while the Inter grated speakers that are built into the monitor will work fine, I will be honest and say that the sound quality is VERY poor. I recommend putting down 30 or 50$ down for a 2.1 audio system. You get much better control and clear deep sound. However, if you do not listen to music or movies much, this is not a critical component to worry about. In all, I am saving you about 300-500$ (rough estimate) in all for this whole package. This computer is a 100% unique custom built computer fine tuned for your application that cannot be found anywhere else! I spent a lot of time putting all this information together so I hope you will give me a call if you are interested!

very nice!

I'll let pictures do the talkin'

Background: The customer I built this for wanted a very very small computer, that would be very easy to move around yet still hold the power of massive ATX desktop systems. While not much of a gamer, He wanted Quad Core performance, along with top-of-the-line DDR3 memory. Most ITX builds can only fit the stock cooler of your processor- at the best, I was able to Mod a SG05 case to fit an amazing all-in-one water cooling solution from CoolIT. With the massive size of the water cooling Rad I had to resort to using Laptop sized hard drive and optical drive. It turns out that most SDD's are 2.5" form factor, so it worked perfictly.

Case: Silverstone SG05
Case MOD/CPU Cooling: CoolIT A.L.C. ECO 120mm radiator all-in-one water cooling unit
Powersupply: 80 plus certified 300w Silverstone PSU. (Built to handle quad core plus GPU power consumption of an HD 4850 or HD 5770)
Motherboard: LanParty P55-T36
CPU: Intel i5-750 @ 3.2ghz  
RAM: 4g dual channel Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600mhz 8-8-8-24
Graphics card: HIS HD 5670 512mb DDR3 IceQ (Not a dedicated gaming rig however this card is very good.)
SSD: WD Silicon Edge Blue 128gb SSD
Optical: Slot-loaded DVD-RW combo drive
 
I'm lazy today and not going to resize this load of pictures, sorry.
