The $2,000 Ultimate Gaming Mini-ITX PC Archive
Welcome to the archives! This is where we list out all of our previous builds, so you can easily see how components and prices have changed over time. Because the prices listed here are old, don't expect to see the same prices available when you click on the links - in fact, some of these products may not be available anymore.
One goal of this archive is to show when you're getting more for your money over time, but beware - you certainly can't count on that!
