I think I can get: - AMD Athlon LE-1640/4850e processor - AMD 780G chipset - ATI 3450 discrete graphics cars (for Hybrid Crossfire) - 2GB 800 FSB RAM - 320 GB 7200 RPM HDD - DVD-RW w/ Lightscribe ODD - Multi-card Reader - Stylish micro ATX Casing for around that price if not a little more... 'course I'll need genuine Windows Vista Premium to take use hybrid graphics and medium sized monitor (can't expect much from the ATI 3200 IGP + ATI 3450 discrete graphics card, can I?) which will bump the price up to around PhP 20,000 I guess.
