I've built a lot of low-budget builds back in my day. Biostar was pretty decent, if not inspiring.
I did multiple builds for clients with the K7S5A BITDECS Motherboards.
Always a rock solid cheap option from Fry's when you screwed up your actual good Asus or Gigabyte.
End up running the ECS "back up" for 2 years till the next major CPU launch upgrade cycle.
Now that is a trip down memory lane.I did multiple builds for clients with the K7S5A BITD
Socket AM2(+), represent!I have a Biostar still running with a Phenom 720
It worked flawlessly and you'd never know you weren't on X370/470.
In the past few years I've had a lot of experience with Dell OptiPlex and Precision Tower systems. They are nothing fancy, but I've been amazed at how bullet proof they seem to be. Corporation who buy these computers expect them to work, with minimal downtime. They are not interested in what is inside the case for office use. Then for engineering type work, they will spec out what they need and again just expect it to work. These machines, when off lease, make for a great option for most folks.Also, Foxconn might be the best mobo maker in the world. I really like how stable Dell and HP's office PCs are. Never seen them throwing up hardware related bluescreens in normal use.
Tell us more!!!Note the Milk Create builds.
