Ok here's the catch, I've been saving up some money these past few weeks so that I can build a new PC. After a few sacrifices, I have come up with enough money to buy the parts i needed, (with the help of my girlfriend, lol). I wanted to build an affordable INTEL DUAL CORE based unit. at around P15,000 pesos, Here are the parts that i have bought. (I didn't include a monitor)
Motherboard: Asus P5S-MX-SE-Php 2600.00
Memory: KINGSTON KVR 667 D2N5 1GB: Php 2150.00
Processor: INTEL CORE 2 DUO E2140 1.60GNZ SOCKET 77: Php 3400.00
Video Card: PALIT NVDIA GEFORCE 7200GS, 256MB 64BIT: Php 1800.00
Casing: ATX- SA- 268: Php 950.00
Hard Disk: SEAGATE 80 GB SATA: Php 2200.00
DVD Writer: SAMSUNG DVD-WRITER COMBO: Php 1600.00
GRAND TOTAL: 14,700 PESOS
"For now", I think the above specs is enough for my computing and graphic design needs.
So I called up my friend Robert, (a.k.a Doc Obet) to help me configure and assemble my PC,
Doc Obet was nice enough to do it for free. Weeee! It's nice to have a PC TECH as a friend.
After the PC was assembled, I was so excited to test run it and I installed all the softwares I need for GRAPHICS, VIDEO EDITING and GAMES. Then came a SHOCKING PROBLEM....
When I wanted to check the PC's performance with internet connection, I took it to our store so i could check. but the freakin PC won't start up!! I checked inside and the LED wasn't on. what the f%*ck! I checked all the parts and tried to troubleshoot it as best as I can but still won't start. To my dismay, i went back to my room and plugged the damn thing again, I checked the LED and i was surprised it's working again.
After 3 hours of figuring out what's the problem, I'm think that the problem is with my Power Supply or with my Motherboard. I'll wait for Doc Obet again to help me with this one. For now
here is my new Desktop in my new PC:
