Advice: First Budget Build


Recommended Posts

  • 3 years later...

The Antec 1200 v3 is now a sub $100 case on the used market. Interesting to see how the advice in this thread

and how five years can change things..... 

 

I snagged a local case for $100 CDN, and a second, not so pristine case for $58 CDN shipped, 

which will simply be a spare upper fan and 2 more sets of triple drive bays and fan. Not too shabby,

12 bays at $120 USD.  

 

Quad core i3's are dirt cheap, while ram isn't.

 

Eight Terrabyte BB Easystore shucked drives means that's potentially 88 TB of storage. An ssd cache drive could use

velcro or a pci bracket and not touch a drive bay.
