is your harddrive sata or ide then figure out what your comp takes and put in your comp. but you will have to format the drive and reinstall windows on the drive
Its A Barebones
Will what I am looking to do Is Make a computer with a case thats going to be able to just surf around on the net and dl some music, movies, ect. but dont want to pay alot, right now i am on a dell 3000, with 2.6 intel pentium 4, 512 mb ram, and 80 gb HD, thats what I am looking to make,
So something like
1. Intel Pentium 4
2. 512 MB
3. DVD-RW
4. at least a 60gb HD
5. The most important ....Price range of cheap...Like around 200.00

all that stuff will work and the harddrive to. but you cant use a dell motherboard in a regular computer cause dell uses properiaty motherboards that are smaller and wont fit in standard cases and they use different connections. but if the CPU ram and dvd drive and harddrive is out of it they should all work but not the motherboard.
tjb129016 said:So Whats the Cheapest Way I can get a computer case and the parts i need to put into it to get it running, I already have a o/s for it, I Just would like to have a comuter to surf arond on..and remember I am new to building computer.
whats your budget and do you want amd or intel. a celeron or a pentium. athlon or sempron.
tjb129016 said:any, maybe Pentium, doesnt really matter, i have a intel celron 2.6 now and i thik this is plenty fast, and around 300
are you going to be gaming at all. do you want an integrated graphics or dedicated graphics. what parts do you already have or do you want to build one from scratch. and that budget is really low.
tjb129016 said:yeah I know its low, I would like to build from scratch, no i wont be gaming alot just like on pogo and stuff, mosty just surfin around chating and playin music files.... think you can get some prices for me
ya give me a few mintues and ill build you a computer.
this is the best i could do. i would wait for somebody else and see if they can build a better computer. it doesnt have a videocard cause your not going to be playing games. it has onboard sound cause it wont fit in your budget. do you need a optical drive. it comes to $290.44 WITHOUT SHIPPING. with shipping it will probably cost you over $300 but not by much.
