Hey guys, I'm trying a few new things today. First, I'm actually doing a project. Second, I'm combining y love for repurposing old hardware and building PCs. A friend had given me his old gaming PC from the mid 00's and I figured, why not. I really like the style of the case and the fact that it was decent hardware at the time, lets see if it can keep up with some basic computing of today. I will be uploading pics and talking aobut the process and my experience as it comes along. Also hoping for some feed back as well. As far as the "UV" part goes, this is also a first for me. I have never put much time/money in the aesthetics of my PCs (usually defeats the purpose of budget build) but today, I am going to try... on a budget.
No before pictures. I wish I did because this thing was caked with dust.
Took all the parts out and cleaned everything
Part list:
Motherboard: Asus P5N32-E SLI (I think it came with a dedicated sound card)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.67 GHz (Stock cooler)
GPU: Palit GeForce 9600 GT
Memory: (2x2GB) Patriot DDR2 800MHZ (4-4-4-12)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200 256 GB
Wireless: Linksys WMP54G Wireless-G 2.4GHz
PSU: CORSAIR Gaming Series GS600 600W
Case: UNKNOWN
Everything put back in except the 9600 (using an DIAMOND Radeon HD 6450 for now)
Gotta love the tacky window fan.
Cleaning the 9600. Such a weird little thing. Damn this thing gets hot too. The PCIE slot it was in (one of the sli slots) no longer works so I think it may have cooked it. I'll double check later
For some reason, windows will not update. (yes its activated) So im going to work on that while I wait for the UV stuff to arrive
