Hey,
My friend has a P4 he's willing to sell me because his CPU fan gave out and damaged the CPU, so that it fails to work correctly. It's a rather newish computer, and he's willing to sell me it for $200, since he wants to buy an Alienware...
What I'm wondering is what can I salvage from this computer? Should I be able to get a new CPU for it, or does the motherboard usually fry as well when a CPU fan gives out? Will the RAM or graphics card be damaged? What about the power source or Cd-drives? I need to know so that I don't end up spending $200 on a case and some fried scrap.
