Well not really old... These are the parts I have laying around now (I just need a few more):
I have this old motherboard collecting dust... M2N68-AM SE2 It still works, i just upgraded it a few months ago. The on-board video with the old MoBo I have stopped working for some reason so I'm going to need a basic GPU.
I have a 300W PSU sitting around in working order.
I have a basic mid-tower case.
15" LCD Monitor.
Win XP home retail version.
I also have a semi-ok DVD-ROM/CD-R drive. (I still may buy a new one just in case)
I'm going to need a basic CPU, HDD, a mediocre to low end GPU and some average DDR2 RAM. I want to make it into a work station for the kids (Internet, homework, some basic kid games etc...) without it being super slow, but I'm not looking for a gaming rig or anything. The other tower I had for them crapped out on them finally.
I plan on buying these parts for it. Please let me know if you see any issues.
