Cheap reliable parts???

[thenewkid 10+ year member]

I am looking now for quality parts at a reasonable price. I have always had an idea to put a full sized computer in my car an wire it up through the rest of the car. Does anyone know where i can purchase some parts an have suggestions on what parts to get?

The first thing I will need is to build the computer. I can just use a plain baige box b/c it will be in the trunk but i wasnt to know what I should put in it as in harddrive size manufatuer stuff like that. I would like to go to as few places as possible.

Here are the things I will need suggestions on. (Please if you can don't just give me a web address I would like to know the whole tread of the product if possible. It will make it quicker to find.) thank you

motherboard-

 

Processor size (preferably slower so it is cooler)-

 

ram(amount and manuf.)

 

harddrive-

 

lcd or crt monitor(size shold be small)

 

audio(could be good audio on the motherboard)-

 

keyboard(wireless would be awsome)-

 

mouse(^same as above^)-

 

a way to cool it(can be liquid cooled)-

 

if I left out an important computer component please add it.-

Well thanks for your thoughts I hope someone else will read this and think to do the same thing as I am doing. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wave.gif.002382ce7d7c19757ab945cc69819de1.gif

www.pricewatch.com (just be careful)

or go to a more reputable place like newegg.com

however.. building a computer nowadays doesn't save much over buying one... just to let you know

check out the tomshardware.com forums. i buy almost every computer part from newegg.com, it's so cheap i dont even bother shopping around sometimes because it's almost a sure thing that it's the cheapest, or cheapest after shipping.

while building a really cheap computer doesnt save you a lot of money, in fact you might end up paying more, building a high end computer is still WAY cheaper than what a manufacturer would charge.

for motherboard and processor you would do better over the internet http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Home.jsp or http://www.newegg.com/ are a couple of good ones. for the case it is cheaper over the internet but the shipping kills, so your call. for hard drive, monitor, and memory, etc your best deals are to just keep an eye on sale ads for best buy, staples, etc. you can find really good deals on that stuff.
