[QUOTE="shaun89, post: 87986, member: 4266"] Oh yeah, and for parts.... I will also recommend the specs of each part if you like... Lets start with a case. Black ATX Case Motherboard Socket 478 (for pentium 4 CPU's) Powersupply - go for a 400W Pentium 4 CPU around 2.8GHz Harddrive - 80GB - 120GB (more space for AutoCad files??) CD-RW/DVD-ROM (or DVD-RW if u wanna butn DVD's) Video Card (i recommend nVidea) 128MB card (make it an AGP card if there are AGP slots on the motherboard, if there are no AGP slots, go with a PCI 128MB Video Card) Sound Card (if you want good 5.1 sound, get a $20-40 sound card from Creative, SoundBlaster) Monitor - You can get like a $200-300 17" LCD or 19" for 300 something if you want more room) Am i missing anything??? Good Luck Oh yeah, and sometimes you can jusy get a barebone system with some aprts already in it with a case .
