    I am trying to buy components from Tigerdirect for a barebones computer that i am goign to use as a media server...
    I cant decide between Core 2 duo or a Phenom X4 (they are about teh same price) or which hardware is good or bad (look for cheap components since i dont game on my computer or anything)

    Already have harddrive, video card, and ddr2 ram.... just need case, mobo, psu, and cpu (fans and everything also)
