Hey everyone. My Army post housing area is doing its yearly spring cleaning. During this bulk trash it available for pick up. I had one of the bulk trash points across the street from me so I peaked out my window and saw a computer. A few hours went by and I was pondering grabbing it and checking it out. Roll up to the scene and see its a Dell XPS 420. Luckily it had not rained, I took it inside and fired it up. Everything turned on but was getting no video output. Maybe its because I was using a dvi to HDMI converter. Either way no video.

I have a evga classified mobo with a missing capacitor that I can hopefully replace. But its got 4GB RAM and a core i7 690. I plan on taking the GTX 9800 and putting it in the evga mobo, use the PSU from the dell and put in all in a case I have laying around and selling it. My only problems is this damn capacitor.
