*If it were 2010.
Now, instead of going out to pasture, these older girls are looking for a new human to love and enjoy them.
Having sat in a cupboard for years, I decided to put together full machines.
I do recommend slapping an SSD into them as whilst I was building and testing, the difference in performance is night and day when compared with a HDD.
I'd go as far as to say that with an SSD, you wouldn't know you were running 10 year old tech when in windows or browsing the web or watching youtube.
I have also made them as quiet and as awesome as possible. I think these could be great as HTPC's.
Windows 7 and all updates done on both full builds and latest bios versions.
You'll just need to activate windows on your side.
PC #1 - AMD Phenom II 940 | Stock Cooler | Asus M3A78-CM Motherboard | 4GB DDR2 1066 | 320GB + 160GB HDD | Cooler Master CM 690 V1 Case | Raidmax 550W Modular PSU + all cables | DVD Writer| Sick Red Old School Cold Cathode lighting with custom on/off switch | 2x 120mm fans |No I/O Shield
Idle-25c | Full load-50c
Very quiet, even under load.
Age: ±10 years
Price: R1400
Warranty: None - But will gladly boot machine up with you and run tests etc.
Packaging: n/a
Condition: good
Location: Randburg
Reason: Not needed
Shipping: no
Collection: Yes please
Images:
If you take the AMD machine, I'll throw in an Athlon II x3 455 CPU - Guaranteed working.
It's a 3-Core CPU but the 4th core can be unlocked with the right board.
I'll include the board I have with it, but I am not sure what is wrong with it. It powers on but won't post.
You are welcome to try get it running again.
Like I said, the CPU is 100% working.
FYI
