Desu Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Make sure all parts are working Get SATA hard drive 150$ PC not bad. well since im a student, he is selling for 50 and he is holding it for me for 2weeks. to test it out, i plan to use Ubuntu CD and use the Try Ubuntu feature. I heard that works even if you dont have a harddrive...unless i am wrong??? and anybody want to help me find a good aftermarket cpu fan? :DDD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Chuck4Abuck Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 damn wut a retro pc lmao jkin , you should buy a cheap ssd to get a good boot time and game loading . i would give him 70 and save the 5 bucks for a bk combo meal . yea you could use a live cd but if the cd unit is that old is going to be pretty loud . wuts your budget on the cpu fan ?

OnionKnight Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 http://atlanta.craig...1902723287.html Owner holding it for me, good deal much? $50? I say its good enough lol. Your a student so take what you can get. Its retro but at least its cheap (Also a 500 GB hard drive will cost you around $39.99. So it would still count under $100. ). Retro pc =D Never compromise for CPU fan and PSU Ya watch out about that CPU heatsink. I think when the guy said "CPU fan" did he mean CPU heatsink lol ? (probably because a cpu fan could always be ziptied to heatsink if its a last resort lawl). Lol no clips can be dangerous =P (watch heatsink fan fall off and then computer shut down lol).

FinZeroX Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 You should add a little more to your CPU cooler budget. If you buy a crappy cheap cooler, it can cause either performance loss or the CPU to overheat and broke. It can cost you whole lot of money. So spend at least 30€(what's that in dollars?) to a good cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desu Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 talked with the guy. he said the clips on the processor that attaches to the heatsink&fan is broken.... so cpu fan isnt the problem since it is aftermarket also. apparently a good one at that. I dont want to buy new processor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickOne Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 The clips are broken ? So theres no way it will work properly . laying it on the side it says in description . . . lol without the necessary pressure for the heatsink it will always work with very high temperatures , i doubt that this comp would last an hour while gaming . I would not recommend to take it , dont wanna know what he also managed to broke when he was able to rip off the small clamps which holds the heatsink on the CPU .
