Upon assembly of the PC, I was quite impressed by both its beauty and computing power. The good thing is: it's cheap! Here is a rundown of the parts, and how much each costs:
1. Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8 GHz, 3MB Cache 1066fsb qdr box (lga775) C2D -> P5500, 3yr warranty
2. Memory: 2 GB of RAM, Kingston, DDR2-800 pc2-6400 -> P1250, 1yr warranty
3. Graphics Card: Inno3d 9500GT, 1GB, 128 bit -> P2360, 1yr warranty
4. Hard Disk: 320GB, Seagate 16MB SATA HDD (SATA cables excluded) -> P2350, 2yr warranty
5. Motherboard: ASUS P5KPL-AM intel g31 (LGA 775 ->)P2600, 1yr warranty
6. DVD drive: Samsung DVD Writer, 22x dvdrw dual layer pata ls lightscribe black -> P1300, 3wk outright, 10mo warranty
7. Monitor: Samsung, 20” LCD wide (glossy) d-sub/DVI -> P7500, 3d outright, 1yr warranty

9. Printer: HP Deskjet 2560 usb -> P1980, 3d outright, 3d warranty
10. Keyboard & Mouse: Logitech G1 Gaming Desktop -> P1250, 2wk outright, 3m warranty
Pretty good specs, right? The thing ran Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Red Alert 3 without a hitch. I can even play Warcraft 3 and surf using Firefox while having WC3 minimized. Must be wicked for the pocket too, don’t you think? If you haven't done the math yet: the total is around 29,000 pesos! I was initially under the impression that you can't get a decent computer undre 50K, but I guess the times have now changed.
In the future, just how much cheaper will computers get?
