I've only ever grabbed one off the shelf at the store, but now I want to make one that will last a while... and for cheap. Is it possible?! I hope so.
It doesn't need to be able to kick ass at playing games, but it does need to read PDFs without slowing down (that's how much my current computer rules).
So let's see. I need:
CPU
Motherboard
RAM
Hard Drive
Video Card
Operating System
Case
Power Supply
Am I forgetting anything? I'll probably pick up some kind of DVD or Blu-Ray drive and a memory card reader.
