I may have accidentally closed the window, and thought it didn't post

yeah, for some reason, I cant do anything on the other post. It is weird, all I can do is like, not even respond.

just like a basic media pc hopefully. I am NOT going to overclock, and i am probably just going to hook it up for things like document editing, internet browsing, music, and movies. EDIT: i might put some emulators on it as well. NES, SNES and gameboy type stuff.

I lost the mounting hardware

Here's the story. I got an old crap pc from my father when he moved offices. He found it in his storage closet, and I believe at some point it was the server for his website. It was super dusty and chances are it's probably just totally toasted (every single component) but I am just trying to set it up as a super basic PC for watching movies and stuff. Specs:* Pentium (idkwhich) 2.0Ghz WD1200 caviar enhanced IDE HDD 120gb (possibly replace with a wd green drive) 1 gb of ddr2 ram (idk what kind or speed or anything, because I can't even BIOS.) hys72t64000hu-3.7-b (I can upgrade that to 2 gb for 9 bucks, or 4 for 18, so this is changeable) Basic LAN card some weird card that IDK what it does, refer to photos Hyper212 evo attatched with zip ties to the cpu socket. basically, the HDD spins up, the led flashes, and then nothing. no output to the monitor. no anything really. I am trying to fix this up. Plz, if anyone knows anything about this hardware, I would love it if they would just drop a comment.

16 mb of ram? is that even enough to run linux?

I'm in Vermont, so not finland or russia, but we get down to -55ºf in the winter and up to 105ºf in the summer.

one fan is enough, but a 240mm rad would be great. preferably under $100 as I probably wont be able to add my GPU to the loop, and I'm in the north, so only in the summer are ambient temperatures high, luckily I am now in a house with air conditioning, so that will help.

any suggestions in terms of aio? looks aren't everything, but definitely a bonus, (white and black prodigy m)

I am going to over clock my cpu for sure, and I am considering over clocking my gpu, but that isn't something that I care as much about as that doesnt get that hot, but im hitting low to sometimes high nineties while gaming running my base clock. I also want to run quieter, which I thought I wouldn't mind that much (if it was loud) but I am having trouble with my cooler being cranked full, maybe I should just go for an AIO instead of going the custom route though, thoughts? also, a titan x and i7 with a leaky loop? could you send the link, I kinda want to see. (:

you know what I mean, water cooling in a prodigy m

I'm having some trouble with routing behind the MB, mainly because there is nearly zero in terms of cable management holes. I am hoping to maybe water cool the graphics card but I cant find a good water block for the card, I cant tell you the temps, as my actual PC is miles away, I am on vacation for a week.

Hello all, I need a better cooling system than I currently have in my Bitfenix Prodigy M (with AM3+ motherboard/processor) I was thinking water cooling with a 240mm rad, but wasn't sure about reservoir or pump, as I have a monolith of a graphics card that covers the 5.25 in bay (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150678) and also about tubing. I need as small tubing as possible, and as flexible, so that I can fit everything inside my case, and I need some tips for cable management in the case so as to maximize airflow from my case fans. Thanks PS: if anyone knows of a good water block for my GPU, let me know, thanks!

I've got a CM Storm Devastator set, which is great, but I need a mouse for my dad's house. I do have one, but it is held together with stickytape and has pretty much every problem known to man, especially with the fact that both clicks are breaking, it doesnt register about 30% of my clicks, and I am pretty much stuck with this as my parents wont let me purchase a new one, and I am also saving to build a kick booty PC
