Default Suggestion for cheap DIce rig
Going to be borrowing Chuchnit's DIce pot, and I think I am about finished up with benching the ATOM setup I have, so going to get it all put together and list it on ebay.

Looking for a cheap rig that will be boint heavy

Also going to need a new PSU for my main rig. Want to get something a little larger than the 560W silverstone I am using and use the 560W for the DIce machine. My intention was to bench my 920... but it looks like it would be a lot of work for little reward.
920 at the bot 2 boints for first place in any category, and I already got 2 gold cups air cooling. So might add 4-5 points by DIcing.

Thinking Athlon II X2 240, but not sure on mobo/ RAM to get. Possibly sempron 140 although competition in both of those will be tough... would be better shot than my current stuff.

Figure I can sell my ATOM setup for about $400 beans probably so looking at $300 ish total for the CPU, Mobo, RAM and PSU.

Used is plenty fine so keep "new" pricing down below $400 for a parts list and I will do the bargain shopping from there

Thanks
