Let me ask another question here. These barebones systems. Are they internet
ready but put together with the least expensive parts but set up to be 100%
upgradeable. Or are they missing one or two components . Like I am looking
at this one here
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?sku=s450-3051
but I see nothing on here about it having a hard drive in it.
That's the point of BAREBONE systems--they generally include just the
motherboard, CPU, RAM and case. Sometimes a floppy disk drive and/or
CD-ROM drive is included, but not in the system you presented.
You are expected to complete the system yourself (or via third party) by
adding a HDD, optical drives, and any other peripherals you desire.
It's like those taco kits you buy in the supermarket--they include the
shells and seasoning, but you supply the hamburger and lettuce.
To complete this barebone system, add:
* a hard drive
* a floppy drive
* a CD-ROM and/or CD-RW drive
* keyboard and mouse
* a monitor
* your choice of operating system
The motherboard already sports onboard video, audio and ethernet.
