Here is my pricing in CAD - INWIN BL631 Low Power Micro ATX Case w/300W power supply $84.99 - Gigabit GA-78LMT-USB3 w/DDR3, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit Lan $79.99 - Samsung 850 EVO Series Solid State Drive 1-TB $499.99 - LG GH240 SuperMulti 24x DVD Writer, SATA $24.99 - Kingston HyperX FURY Black 16GB DDR3-1600MHz CL 10 Dual Channel 4 x 8 GB Total 32 GB RAM $225.98 - AMD FX-6300 Processor 3.5GHz w/ 14MB Cache $144.99 - Asus GeForce GT610 CMS 2GB PCI-E w/ DVI HDMI $69.99 - assembly $40.00 - Warranty ??? $177.99 ========================================================================= TOTAL $1348.91 ADS for CPU v2 (WHAT IS THAT?) $4.40 GST $67.67 ========= GRANT TOTAL: $1420.98 PS. Expensive like for a small box. Maybe I don't need 32GB or RAM but even 16GB RAM would save me only $112.99 You might be right, maybe I'll add one HDD for backup (good suggestion). The killer is my 1TB SSD $499.99CAD -- Thelma On 11/05/2015 06:56 PM, Philip Webb wrote: > 151105 thelma@sys-concept.com wrote: >> I'm putting a new box, it will run Gentoo (hylafax, Asterisk) >> and Windows 7 in VirtualBox (mainly).
