@hugh705 If you ask for a dollar from 30 people each day you'll have 800-900 by the end of the month :3

mine is non modular..because 2 reasons: 1. Cheaper.. simple and 2. If i want to add something i don't have to go search for the cable i need.. because eh... mostly i lose that kind of things even if i put it in a place i am sure about that i would remember it, but then when i decide to add something like a hard drive.. i can't find the cables.. haha

My 530 watt raidmax was $67 (NZD) and is modular up to the 20+4pin ATX connector.

@hugh705 Ask your parents. Tell them you'll do any and all chores they can think of for as long as they feel necessary to earn it. Then let them know that you want to choose what goes in the PC yourself otherwise they'll buy some garbage pre built one from an electrical store. Let them know you're willing to skip presents for your birthday in return for getting this PC if need be. Just make sure they let you choose good parts. If you aren't sure one what parts to choose look up on forums.
