... or upgrade ... or gutting an old machine & putting in all new stuff. This thread will about the progress & will have pix (as soon as I figure out how
). For the 1st time ever I have taken other's advice (Rob, 2Tired2Tango, Kougar, gibbersome, Merlin & at least someone else) about the build. Also, I don't know whether it is good idea to write all of the cr@ppy little details or not, but here it starts!.
Over the past couple of months I was clearly commenting about what I was planning & received advice (solicited & unsolicited
) and other times I was just throwing ideas out to get comment ... sometimes it worked & sometimes it did not. This forum is smaller than many but opinions are more guarded but experienced than what I see elsewhere. For instance, visit an auto forum sometime & you will see a lot of people posting just to see their own post ... but they don't know squat!
The PC to be rebuilt is a 7 y/o WC-ed dual Athlon MP computer that was running Windoze 2K. It ran perfectly 24x7 until a couple of months ago when the HDD started failing.
Also, I moved about 1 1/2 years ago from Pennsylvania to Connecticut, but I have a lot of office stuff still in storage in PA including the W2K OS disk. But God only knows where it is in storage.![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
But, who would repair a system like this anyway? Even tho a new HDD could be had for $60. As it is I have a business dependent on high performance PCs. In the day this was the high performance machine as it was grossly OC-ed. For the business I have several PCs & fortunately this PC was on the bottom of the list. Its name is dogbert.
The point is that the case and especially the WC system was pretty expensive at the time so I plan to re-use as much as possible for a new build with current processor(s) & to be compatible with future CPUs.
