Im thinking of starting in on a new cpu build.
My old one was built almost 2 years ago, and was done on a small budget. So i bet most if not all of it is unusable now. But i could be wrong. If i forget to mention anything lemme know, i havent looked into cpu hardware since building this one, so i forgot alot of what i picked up on then.
mobo - a7n8x-e deluxe
cpu - amd athlon, 2500xp
Ram - 2x, 256mb 2700ddr corsair's.
Video card - Geforce 4600ti, 64mb (old i know ><)
HD - two WD, on 80bg, one 160, both 7200 rpm. these should be good still.
power supply- i forgot its brand, but its 450watt if that helps.
cdr - this was a gift, no idea on its quality. 52x32x52x LG cdrw. (i dont need a dvdr, my laptop is networked and, has one that i can burn things on. not saying that i wont get one, just its not needed.)
I have a great speaker system, so no need to upgrade it.
monitor is from the early 90's, garbage andmust go.
My fans are all pretty worn, so i dont think any are reusable.
The case is really dirty, but nothing a good cleaning wouldnt fix.
That being said, I would think 1,000-1,500 is what a good total price would be for me. Alot has came out since my last build, so im going to start from scratch and learn this all over again. so any advice on a build would be greatly appriciated.
If its really not worth keeping anything other then the larger hd, i may just clean the old machine up, and network it with the one im building soon.
