Does 3dspotlight not build a monthly machine showing prices anymore? I found a link to one and it is showing the AMD 1.33. It was written in 2001.

Thats been there for ages, I used to check there for new guides all the time, like year ago, untill after 6 months nothing was ever done with it, or said about it.

I wonder where it moved too?

Oh I guess I see. Hit the forum jump huh?

I'm sure this will get updated when the staff get a chance. With the site updates, forums changes and server move there has been a lot going on behind the scenes.

My personal choices for a AMD system would be:

• Cooler Master ATC-710-GX2 $108 (personal preference)
• AMD XP Barton 3000+ $600
• Thermalright SLK-800 $38
• ThermalTake SmartFan II $17
