Okay, so Fry's had a deal on an E-6300 and an ECS P4800Pro-M for $169. I couldn't resist since I had many old parts laying around. Sooo... for that and $43. for a rosewill TU153 case I'll be building a low budget folder. The case came with a 400W PSU with a Rosewill label. I also have an Antec 400W PSU the came with a 640B case. I was planning on using the Antec. In reality will it make any difference? I'm guessing the Antec would be higher quality but it's probably the same. Which would you use? The machine will also have 1GB corsair Value DDR400 A hard drive that's as old as your grandmother's toes... actually a 9GB OEM HPdrive and not much else. It's sole purpose is to fold at stock speeds with a stock HSF. Is the Antec better than the Rosewill? MO will probably say no but say it anyway MO. I respect your opinions.

Gee, how disappointing. When I saw "Budget Folder" I thought is was a way to save money for more computer stuff...talker.

Yah! I went with the Antec. I didn't think anyone replied as I had no notifications. I must have screwed up. The Antec weighed a pound or 2 more and had better amp output on many of the rails. A Conroe folder for $200. Sorry guys. I'm chasing Lukeman for the #1 spot at the other site. Shep obviously got in trouble for using school computers and hasn't logged a point in months. At this point it is a Team competition thing and has nothing to do with the site.
I really want to stay out of site politics. I'm just glad I know where to find the old guard and those that made another site worth visiting.
