this is what i will reuse from the dead dell
2x 256mb pc3200 ram
56k modem
the cd-rw drive
the cables
the one and only fan init back black 80mmfan (sidenote this dell did not have a cpu fanhttp://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/smilies/eek.gif no wonder it burned up the processor and mobo"
front usb ports and front audio if i can and i will take any info you good people offer

 

bump anyone? i know theres some people on here that knows this stuff

 

First off....Why don't you get an SATA hard drive since the motherboard supports it!! It is faster and the cables are tiny!! Here is one...

MSI boards are generally good...and all the reviews for that model at new egg showed good!! And it is a good price!!

This cpu that comes with a heatsink and fan will work in that board....

Everything else looks good to me!!

thanks for the info did you know both them links go to the processor? lol i am trying to bulid it as cheap as i can for the guy because i know the guy and he dont have much money so if you know anyway he might say afew bucks please tell me lol i think he only uses the pc for internet and thats it i need to see if its hdd is still good
can someone tell me how i might hook that hdd up to my pc from that dell i beleave it still has xp on it and i dont want to mess up anything because he wants some data off there and he wants me to burn all the data i can off of it


EDIT/ the hdd is a SeaGate Barracuda 7200.7 40gigs ultra ATA\EDIT

 

Do you know how to install a hard drive as a slave?? If so...do that, and then when you boot up your system...you should be able to see everything on his hard drive through "my computer" and then if you want you can paste and copy anything (or the whole drive) onto your drive, or burn onto cd, or whatever!!

How about the following from the build...anything I didn't list, you can **** from the old dell!!

Case w/psu...

Mobo and cpu combo deal....

Cooling fan for cpu...

Video card...

OS...(you have to buy a new windows because the one with his dell WILL NOT work with ANYTHING else!!!! But this is a good deal.....

Optional SATA hard drive, if for some reason his doesn't work....

That is a good SATA HD, Western Digital is an excellent brand (in case you didn't already know that)

Also, whats this comp going to be used for anyways?

 

ok cool yea i know how to put the drive on there i was just wondering if the os on it was gonna try and start when i started up the pc (i am waitting on them links to load right now i hate dialup) i never realy worked to much with amd but if its cheaper i will that way it will save the guy some money (i still cant beleave dell is to cheap to put a cpu fan on its processors) everything looks good and anything thats useable from the dell i will run everything by the guy tommorrow and see what they say

 

the pc is going to be used for mainly internet maybe some games but i really dont know lol

 

If you put that hard drive in as a slave (actually, you might want to do CS) it will not try to boot the os on that slave drive!!

Lots of those commercial computer builders will actually run duct work from the cpu to the psu...and just rely on the psu fan to do the job!!

The build I just presented to you, is VERY similar to what I have...and I can tell you...it will be a VERY adequate system for what you have said he will probably do with it!! And if he does any heavy duty gaming...then just kick it up a notch with the video card...if needed!!

Let me know if you have anymore questions!!

Roger

 

thanks man

 

i do beleave the hard drive that was in it is no good i booted up just fine with it in. so i did a virus scan of it and from alot of trojens and i ran a spyware check and deleted all the spyware befor i get in to it so i cleaned up the hdd only to find out that they may have droped the pc at one time because from what scandisk is saying well to make it short its in bad shape so as of right now i am formating it and going to do another scan just to make sure thin is its still in that shape it will just have to be junked might open it up and use its disks on the side and top of there new pc lol wont that look good

 

What is it doing that makes you think that the hard drive is mechanically screwed up????

While you've got it in the machine...you might as well back up the important stuff and format it!! You are going to have to reinstall windows for the new build anyway, and I hate repair installs...it just feels like it's a half ass job, if you know what I mean!!

However...incase you didn't know...don't load/install windows for the new system until the drive is in the new system!!

And make sure that you reset the CMOS in the new build...before you fire it up!!

Let me know how you come along!!

Roger

 

the hdd is making a clicking sound when i use it and i only ran into that one time befor and that was when i test droped a old wb 250mb hdd and i know what you mean about windows lol so the total will be around $300 for the new bulid is there anyway i can save that guy a few bucks on it? because what i could see from the hdd they only use it for internet and music the only games i seen on it was the windows games lol so i think we might still beable to save him some money

 

You can always go with a cheaper graphics card...and a less powerful cpu!!

What are the cpu specs on the dell he has now?? I was just assuming that he wanted something that was equivilant to what he has now, or maybe better...depending on what kind of deal you can find him!!??

I'm on the run right now...but let me get back to you later this afternoon and we can possibly find some things a little cheaper!!

Like I said we need to know what he expects as far as the performance he is expecting!! Does he SRICTLY want to just get by...or is he wanting to compete with NASA...or something inbetween!!

I'll be back later!!

Roger

 

the processor that was in that dell was a 2.7ghz p4 celeron what he will be useing it for is alittle gamming and online useage and thats it!!! lol well i g2g too but i will be back

 

Do you know what socket the cpu is (for shure)...if so we could maybe find you a deal on just a board and you could use the cpu from the dell...otherwise you're going to have to pay to get that kind of power!!

I'm and AMD man myself, so I don't know much about deals/pricing on Intel stuff...however...like I said...if you can get the EXACT specs on (FSB, socket, etc., EVERYTHING) about the cpu...there is no reason we can't research/find something!!!!

Going grocery shopping with the wife and I'll check back!!

Roger

 

i can not use the processor from that dell i thought i said this but if i did not (i tried that processor in my pc to see if it still worked and it did not work all i got was the dead cpu beeps from the motherboard)

 

Sorry...I recall you saying that now!!

How about this then...

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1334045&CatId=188

It's not near the power of the 2.7 intel...but I wouldn't think he would notice that much of a difference for what he is going to use it for!!

Especially if he is strictly just trying to scrape by!!!
