How to find details about Motherboard and other Parts on Used PC ..... ? I recently purchased a Alien-ware Case from a thrift store here in Las Vegas. It was missing the hard drive, memory, power supply and a couple of other minor things. The manager said they were stolen (gutted!) by someone who knew the value of the parts. It includes the Motherboard, Fans, Processor and pretty much everything else. The manager sold it to me for $10 and I figure it will cost me about $100 to rebuild it. I want to know how to read the motherboard to find out the type of memory needed to get it running and other things you think I might need. I have everything already except memory so any help is really appreciated. Thank you!

I have a couple questions about parts that will be used in my new gaming pc? I will be using this pc for a lot of gaming. Coolermaster Haf-x i7-2600k @ 4.8 Ghz GTX 570 SLI (Good choice?

Will the fans already in the Coolermaster Haf-x plus the extra fans keep the system cool considering that both the CPU and the GPU's will be overcloked? Can my 1000W PSU handle this set up? Or will it be stressed to cope? I may be able to get my hands on my bro's pc surround system, would a sound card be a good idea or is the onboard enough?

Oh yeah, any ideas on what Full HD 27" 2ms monitor I should get? Cheers, thanks in advance! Sorry for the essay!

Is it possible to make a notebook pc using desktop parts? Alright, I cannot find a PC on the market with the spec's I need for a good price. So I went out and found the parts from resalers, and it come's to roughly 1800 for the basics. (Core i7, Corsair, Nvidia 9800 GTX+). Now, I have found similar specs in notebook pc's (Alienware, Dell, Sager, Falcon NW, etc.), but those rack up between four and ten thousand dollars. Definitely out of spending range. So, how would I go around making a notebook pc then? I do imagine I may need to make my own chassis, but is there any advice that can be given doing this? EDIT: I know that the part's are not the same size, that's why I meant by making a custom chassis. you know, a 21" or larger perhaps. I know this sounds unethical, but I have limited space. So what I meant was is it possible to make a custom chassis to hold the larger parts, and make your own notebook with it. Quite obviously the parts are larger, I was just curious if you can actually do that. <('',)> Good thing I live in Canada (Maximum security in Prince Albert :S) ;) Haha, but yes, I understand what you mean. Alright, I understand now that it is useless to attempt making one from desktop parts. Thank you very much for the information.

I want to build a media pc using some parts from an old one. Can I hook up IDE drives with a SATA adapter? I'm fairly limited on a budget and here are the parts that I want to build it with: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856119012 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134632 I have a 120GB IDE hard drive and a IDE DVD burner and this mainboard only has SATA cables (I believe).

Buying used electrostatically sensitive PC components from Ebay - risky? As far as I know, damaging PC components with static electricity is very easy, though wearing a anti-static wrist strap when you touch components removes this risk entirely. I would imagine that if an Ebay seller with no PC building experience, acquired electrostatically sensitive parts without their original packaging and warnings, they probably won't know of the need to take protective precautions against static electricity. Am I wrong about the level of risk? What have your experiences been of buying electrostatically sensitive PC components on Ebay?

I'm building a PC using second hand parts and have no idea what PCIE graphics card to choose. Any suggestions? I've got a AMD 64 3800+ (2.4ghz) with 2GB of RAM, which I might upgrade to 4GB at some point. Pretty much every thing else is all set, but I haven't a clue which graphics card to choose. Can anyone suggest something that'd match my other hardware? I know these parts are beginning to age now, so there's no point in choosing a brand new graphics card- not that I could afford it anyhow. Can someone point me to a reasonably priced, decent specification graphics card that'd suit my PC? I don't want a lopsided system, and there's no point in matching a brand-spanking new graphics card with an aging system. My motherboard is a Abit AN8-V and the port is a 16x PCI-E.

Building a Computer with Parts from Old Computer? I have a 5 year old dell PC (when I bought it was a middle class PC). I am planning on building a new PC and was not sure what parts i could use from the old one. The new PC would not be used for games but rather as a home business computer. What parts can i salvage from the old PC and what parts do i have to buy new. I am somewhat familiar with PC but never built one before. I know i need a motherboard, but not sure which one to get (what motherboard works best with the new Intel 2 core duo. Also, should i get MS vista or XP, as it seems that most people are having problems with Vista
Building a PC? I am planning to build a PC. Or more specifically, a GAMING PC. I have heard that building a PC using parts i have bought myself is the best way to go for budget and performance. So I'm just basically asking a couple of questions concerning building a PC. Here goes... 1. Do i need to have good or great knowledge in computer skills or ITS? I'm not an amateur when it comes to computers. (well, i hope that's the case =P) I know all main parts of hardware and what they do but would it be Impossible or at least difficult to actually build the PC? 2. I live in Australia and I'm trying to avoid buying parts online. (not that i don;t trust the online market. It's just easier for me right now.) Are there any store at all around Australia (or anywhere else, i don't care) that wold sell quality gaming PC hardware? I'm gonna finish the rest of these questions in DETAILS because I'm running out of characters =P PLEASE READ HERE BEFORE ANSWERING! anyway... 3. If i build a quality Gaming PC, how well would it perform doing other tasks besides running games? I mean a power gaming PC would mean a powerful PC altogether right? 4. this is probably the most asked question concerning building PC's but... What would be the price range? (if you live in Australia please answer in AU$) I mean for at least a good Gaming PC. Obviously i want to get one as cheap as possible but i am looking for a good (not OPTIMAL but at least good...even great) at at least a good price...would that depend on the parts i use? Is there any possible way to cheapen the price and get a great PC at the same time? 5. and just to confirm, what level of skill in IT would it take to build a gaming PC? (I mean actually build it after getting the parts etc)
Upgrading my PC motherboard possibly building my own? I want to upgrade my HP PAVILION 754n that has a pentium 4, 2.5ghz and 512mb sdram (will be upgrading to the maximun of 2 512mb slots this week) with 80gb I want a new CPU preferably a dou core and I would like to build my own PC by using the parts of my old PC is it ok to buy a new motherboard that supports a duo core CPU, plus a new CPU and RAM that is compatible with that motherboard for now. I just dont want to buy all the parts to build an entire PC all at once (cant afford it right now) but I want to build it along the way by later buying a new graphics card, a new power supply, DVD drive, possibly extra storage to make it like 300gb, and well any extras that I would want after that wouldnt be a problem, but I just want to know if what I have in mind is a good idea? Im estimating that spending around $400 on the new motherboard,CPU and RAM would do it (not on the entire PC parts I know that would be more) I just dont want to spend alot more in one shot Thanks
Is there any way that a WD eide hard drive can be used as slave drive in a PC that already has SATA C drive? I feel really stupid.My computer's motherboard crashed, so I looked for a cheap fix. I bought two used emachines, one, like my old one, was EIDE. My old one that had a new WDCaviar 160G. The other a newer, with a SATA Drive. I thought I could use the old emachine starup disc(s). Now I have one dead computer and two that won't install their O/S. I guess that emachines need the EXACT disc(s) to start.I'm hoping to buy and try this universal? recovery disc and install the WD drive with all my files as a slave. I've also considered buying a refurbished EIDE PC from Tiger Direct and giving up on the used parts, emachine thing alltogether. I was hoping to save some money.
Where is the best place (website) where I can get NEW pc parts to build a pc and resell? I have to ask this again becasue some people don't get it. I shop at tigerdirect.com. They have low prices, but I can only use them once because of rebates. Is there a place where I can get wholesale parts? I don't want 1000, just one or two of each part.
is it true pretty much all pc brands use all the same parts? so the quality would be the same with pretty much any computer
Inner parts for MAC and PC should be different? I have an old Macintosh, the CPU is transparent. It is one or two previous model before the NEW tower for the MAc 5. It is old, but works. I am wondering if I can upgrade the OS. If not, if I can use the "case" to make a new PC computer. Can I install Microsoft XP to this MAC or the RAM, hard drive, I do not know, anything else inside the computer have to be different? How can I upgrade this MAC, since the OS is old, and the computer itself. Can I make this MAC a PC by installing Windows XP to it?
