Ongoing My $500 CAD CTPC (1 Viewer)

[Puissance]

Hi everyone,

I have won an older model small form factor barebone system and I have started to get parts for it to build my Cheap Theatre PC.

Barebone system: AOpen XC Cube EY65 (FREE!)
CPU: Intel Celeron D 325 ($41.30)
Memory: Mushkin Redline PC3200 512MB 1X512MB DDR400 CL2-3-3 184PIN DIMM Memory ($51.93)
TV Tuner: Sapphire Theatrix 550 ($100.91)
Hard Drive: Samsung Spinpoint P Series 250GB SATA2 7200RPM 8MB 8.9MS FDB Hard Drive ($91.15)
CD-ROM: Samsung SH-D162C Beige 16X DVD-ROM Drive IDE OEM ($26.55)
Keyboard/Mouse: Logitech Cordless Desktop Ex 110 ($38.15 )
Shipping: ($24.41)
Video Card: All-in-Wonder® 2006 Edition 256MB AGP ($132.22)
Cables/Adapters: $0.00
-------
Budget: $500.00
Total: $506.62

The cost includes taxes. However, I got $9 worth of unexpected custom fees and I bought thermal paste for $7. I guess I'm really over budget now.

Hopefully this will last a while. I'm planning on overclocking the Celeron to 3.0Ghz.

EDIT: Everything is in Canadian dollars. I purchased from eBay, NCIX, BestBuy, and Canada Computers.
