Northernboy27 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I've built a system that works just fine, I used a couple parts just sitting around so the cost was even lower Intel dual core E7200 $150 Shuttle SG33G5 $250 2gig mem $60 pioneer dvd-R/RW - had 250gig HD $50 The system took a bit of playing with but I'm running Leo4all and I've got sound, network (as you might guess) all running fine.
