Do ';barebones'; computer cases come with CPU?

Over the last couple of years I have become somewhat of a pretty decent computer nerd, doing some repairs for friends, hardrive replacements, upgrades internally etc, and have been entertaining the idea of building my own computer and been looking into barebones kits on Newegg.com. I've noticed that the prices can vary, and was wondering what what included in these things. Do they come with CPU's? Heatsinks? Is there onboard sound and video? Does the board even come with the unit or is it just the case and power supply and cords?


Any info would be helpful...

Barebone is usually case, psu, and motherboard. Pending on what type of motherboard will tell you if you have onboard sound or video. The PSU will come with all the cords. Make sure to read descriptions! Also, if you're looking for a new computer yourself, check out my site, we're a high end gaming computer company.Do ';barebones'; computer cases come with CPU?
I would just look for the product descriptions on such sites. Usually they will tell you what's included in a kit. It may vary, and it may depend on what you want. A case is just that, the case (and maybe the supports inside for holding the motherboard and such). You would then have to pick what motherboard and CPU you wanted to put in it, the graphics card, hard drive etc. etc. But again, look for the product descriptions, they should included such details.
Barebones come with a lot of different stuff. We got a barebone that had everything you needed to build a computer except case fans (runs ok and stable without the case fan).





As suggested, you should look at the 'included in box'; or ';comes with'; section. Normally they come with a cpu, but I've seen them with just case, psu, and mb.
It's usually just the case and power supply.
Your standard barebones kit comes with a Case, Power supply, and Motherboard. Depending on the motherboard it may have onboard video and almost all boards now have audio and network onboard.





Unless you want a small form factor case I generally recommend just building your own combination using a Case (with no PS), a separate Power Supply, and motherboard. You get exactly what you want and need, and it's usually cheaper.
i was acually looking into one but i used tigerdirect.com ... they show you everything you get in the barbones kits... everyone i have looked at comes with a cpu its either a piece of **** or a decent one... i mean youll find an excellent cpu on the 2k kits... say you want a gaming one i see they come with a hd, cpu, graphics card, power supply, memory (usually ddr2) and a case... but only some come with case fans... but this is the one im looking at but i want a better cpu...
