    Yea... I know its old and more so obsolete, but since I have this itch, and as a side project in mind, this has me lil excited...! anybody here has some free time and enthusiasm to help me out sourcing 90% parts... which are US based.

    PS: its a budget build, counted all major parts to run in at ~200$ more less...
    PPS: also im only doing M11X R2 with 1.2Ghz cpu, as for what I would need it its more than enough, especially when paired with SSD :)

    Never ask - never know, so thought I will

    Have a nice day everybody

    I can help, I bought an R1 a while back and pretty much changed everything except the motherboard. One of the best US based parts suppliers is parts-people.com. They grade their used parts honestly and their prices are fair. But instead of building from scratch I think you'll find that it's cheaper to buy a second hand M11X and replace parts on that as needed. Kind of like cars, all the parts combined will probably cost more than a complete system. Let me know what parts you need, there are also a couple of e-bay sellers I've bought parts from who are really good.
