This page is to track the PC I am going to build myself. I am setting myself a limit of £50.00 per component. Some will be easy to get under £50, others may not be so. Not exactly sure what components I will get, but there are a few requirements that will definitely be needed. Lots off USB2 ports including some on front of PC and serial ports (although used a lot nowadays, my Ham radio needs them).
