I acquired an old XPS from my brother. He parted out the graphics card, RAM, DVD drives, hard drive, and sound card (If there was one). My parents want to use this computer as a "new" desktop. They have entrusted me with this task. I set a budget of around 150 or so dollars to spend. The cards, RAM HDD, etc don't need to be flashy, as this computer is 6 years old. With that being said. I have looked VERY tentatively at items, and came up with the following. As far as RAM goes, I need to contact my brother in order to determine which type of RAM the system uses. It's an old P4 so I'll be sticking with that.
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136073
Graphics Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161322
DVD Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135224 (this system has those old clunky ribbon cables to attach drives to, is this the right plug? I forget the connection name)
As of now, that is it. This is a VERY tentative look at parts, I just did this within an hour. Would these components work with the PC I was given? I can get information about the RAM speed, as well as the PSU wattage.
Let me know what you all think. Thanks for any comments.
