Ok, i have a few projects that i am having problems with.

1. My main project is turning a bunch of free parts into a decent machine!

Right now, its got a p4 2.5ghz, 512mb ram, 1 cd-rw drive, 1 dvd burner, 1 8in floppy drive, 1 regular floppy drive and 1 zip drive. its got a nvidia 5600 or 5700, i can't remember which it is. its also got a wireless card and an ethernet card and finally 1: 20gb hdd and 1: 15gb hdd

the problem with this one is, i can't find out where to hook up the power button to..........BTW its actually a dell mobo! and its got an agp slot!

2. Using the same free parts, right now i have:

pentium 2 mobo 64mb ram 1: 1gb hdd 1: 450mb hdd 2 floppy drives and a 145w power supply.

i need to know where i can buy a pentium 2, and whatever else i need for this.

When you have the mobo installed ... bottom right corner. Make sure to use a Dell PSU too.

thank you

The roundish thing is a battery. You should see a sticker like

PSU 101.

The power supply has a sticker like that, but the only brand i can find is newton.

And, not the battery, its a black, kinda tall round thing. like a cylinder shape.'
its got a hole in the top middle, like a pin hole, and it says + on it.

Read QUESTIONS 101 and you can find all the info you need for yerself

In any case, that's not a Dell compatible PSU AFAIK so youll need to grab a dell one

This one i am on right now is getting slight updates, like more ram ect ect.
