Okay as a potential "DIY" project for myself...
Let's think "Frugal/Tightfisted" Minimal requirements, allowing for a gradual buildup to awesome...
What do I need to make my own system from "scratch?"
I'm already presuming:
Case [Which may be a cabinetry job for my uncle... Pulp-Tech Aesthetic, Baby!]
Mother Board and CPU
At least two HDs, one Optical Drive/Burner
Memory Sticks
GFX and Audio Cards
Power Supply
OS Pack, preferably an OEM edition. {I'm not programming-savvy enough to tinker with Linux, and Mac just creeps me out}
The rest is peripherals I may or may not already have in usable condition.
OF course I'm gonna try for a GFX card to handle ShinyMode for GR as well
