OK guy's and gals. I've been out of the IT field for a bit. Looking to build me a cheap desktop as my server died and my main desktop was donated to my kid.
I found this board, but I can't find any info on it at all. Is this thing real!!! I don't need anything bad ass. Just gonna use it for guitar pro and recording.

go asus and amd = cheap n good
I was going to post a link to that thread, but the SG search results for "bullsh|t" were too numerous
sometimes you have to think outside the box to get inside the box

I've got a case, PSU, some ram(may need something newer), HDD's, sound card. Basically, I'm gonna take the server apart and strip the bad parts out and use it.
Been bidding on a A7V600 board. Yeah its old but if I throw a Barton core and my SCSI Cheatah's in it I should be fine. I REALLY don't need some bad ass system, I'll never use it's power.

Sid I have a few components I "cleaned up" from doing a bunch of relacements at a place that does custom fabrication for the military. They guy that did the prior IT for this business used a lot of cloner parts...I can ship something your way such as
Biostar U8668 D motherboard, for Celeron/Pentium 4. It has a big HSF on it, I haven't peeked at the processor. Also has RAM. Not a fancy board, but for the price under current XMas rate of "free"....it can be on its way to you.

total will be ~$55-60 and i'm sure someone has a cheaper processor that will work...but that board is descent for the price.

Wow Brian, that would be cool. Let me see if I can back out of the bid I'm winning on Ebay. Also let me make sure I'm not going to have any compatabilty problems as the cards don't like to play nice.YeOldeStonecat wrote:Sid I have a few components I "cleaned up" from doing a bunch of relacements at a place that does custom fabrication for the military.

Edit: Send it man. I find no issues at all and the ebay is only $11.00 so even if I win it I can get it and use it anyway in my duagters system that's dying.
Send my info on paypal for shipping.
