IceCold Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I'm looking to build a cheapo crappy media center PC. No 720p, just standard res videos and emulation. BUT, I will be hooking to my HDTV, so I need to be able to have DVI, which means I'd really prefer to have an AGP slot on the motherboard. I already have a decent video card with a DVI port, but it's AGP, so I'd really like to get a board with AGP. I have a Celeron 2.7GHz chip(socket 478) that works, but the mobo crapped out, so if you have a socket 478 board with an AGP slot that would be pretty ideal. Or, I'd also be interested in mobo+processor combo as long as it's ~1GHz and up and the motherboard is sporting an AGP slot. Keep in mind I'm looking to do this as cheaply as possible, so I'm not looking for your kickass socket 478 motherboard with gigbabit lan, etc. for $70. In fact, I'd be cool with a complete(as in already in case, has power supply, ram, etc.) athlon or p3 1GHz pc as long as it's got an AGP slot and isn't too highly priced. If I don't get any decent offers I'll just say screw it and buy a pci video card for one of the surplus machines I have around here. I'm hoping to get a decent deal though as the hardware I'm looking for is like 6 or more years old. And I have TONS of ddr ram, so if your motherboard uses ddr, I probably won't need any ram. But if it's included in the price, that's fine by me. I can scrounge up some old pc133 too if necessary, so I don't necessarily need ram with those either.

the.golden.ax Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Name your price, I have 478 boards, and other athlong board/processor combos laying around doing squat. Think of it as price-line. You name your price (and then it will be that plus actual shipping). The stuff has been stored for years, and should work, but I have no way to test it, so I'm going to put it up there as as-is.

CGQuarterly Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Do you still need this? I have a buddy who has an AMD motherboard and CPU combo, with an AGP slot, that you can have for free if you pay shipping. PM me if you still need one.
