Building help

fireballs · 06-09-2007, 02:51 PM

I have two broken laptops and am currently constructing a working tower out of the scrap parts, wandered if anyone can help me with a mobo prob.

Some of the parts i can use twice (RAM, HDD, monitors etc.) but my mobo knowledge is limited, is it possible to use two, and if it is is it would it be beneficial?

Plus is there anything else i can use twice that i haven't thought of?

What do you mean use twice?

Oh, sorry, Okay

I think you have hit it all, except for Optical Drives

ok but is it possible and profitable to use two motherboards?

ducis · 06-09-2007, 06:48 PM

why would you want 2 do that

fireballs · 06-10-2007, 02:29 PM

That was the point, my motherboard knowledge is limited, so i was asking if it would be profitable in any way.

no

How are you going to use the 2.5" hard drives in the tower? Towers take 3.5"

he probably will just put them in at the bottom of his case if they dont make to much noise there
