This is my first build log so any constructive criticism is welcome.

 

After years of living with this PC it went into the loft and I only got it back about 2 years ago. I loved this pc and it was how i learn many of the fundamentals of PCs that I still use today. When i was young i wrecked this Pc with hot-glue on the power supply as well as trying to turn ot on with no heat-sink that killed that CPU. I regret the choices I made so I recently acquired a new P4 pc and I hope to use it to rebuilt the original monster. The condition the Pc was left in:#

what prosesor is there in that PC, i have a bunch of pentium 4's i can send you one if you pay for shipping

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.
