a new old chassis?

[elpropesor]

mga bro ... ga plano ko assemble ug low end nga pc ... kanang pang powerpoint ra kay gamiton nako sa opis. wala man guy budget to buy a new one. ask lang ta ko mga master kung pwede ba nako gamiton ako old chassis to house a new board? i think mid-tower unya pentium 3 pa to ... and do i need to replace the ps just to be sure? im planning to use a c2duo nga board! most likely kanang pinaka affordable lang. tenchu tenchu ...

[BroadBandAC]

bai, can you pls. post the model of the board u want to use... daghan man gud C2D na board... i think it would help.... bdw, why C2D? low end raman kaha?

hehehe... even intel celeron will the right job for that....

but i'd recommend AMD Sempron,,

ayaw nang mid-tower coz the psu blocks the airway of the CPU cooler,,, not a good idea. better get a 2nd hand full atx casing, you can find in the buy/sell category, suroy lang didto.

I'd go with AMD_infinium05's suggesttion. Second hand full ATX case ang gamita for a new system.

We actually did that (use PIII mid-tower cases) here in the office with systems based on the Pentium D 820, and sad to say they died early because of heat issues (PSU blocking the CPU fan from blowing air towards the Heatsink). BTW....the Pentium D system that dies still used the old 250W PSU that came with the mid-tower case, which is a real no-no when powering such a power hungry processor.

ya, @author: you know what, you cant cool your processor using mid-towers, the PSU itself is dissipating heat, what your actual cpu fan would get is the dissipated heat of the psu... BAD IDEA.

I hate these cases,

Ok ra na bro, basta masud lang imo mobo. Just to be with your budget, go for AMD with a mobo na onboard tanan. If naa ka hard disk og PSU, Im sure maka assemble ka less than 8t.

For example: athlon 64x2 4600 2900
Asrock alive NF7G 2300
2x DDR2 800 1G 2300
_____
Total 7,500

All the rest, use your old parts like keyboard, mouse, PSU, casing. May nindot pa na imo spec bro compared sa ako gagamit karon. Powerpoint.. no problem at all. Vista Ultimate 64bit will have no trouble also.

the case is not OKAY

[darkdevil]

murag naa to baligya si simoko og atx casing...barato ra sad....try lang tan aw sa buy and sell section

[g_em]

buy and sell section.. c pangitko naa baligya super low power consumption na pc.. okay kaau.. wa to problema pra office and documents..

That is so wrong boss, because you are suggesting that he use his VERY OLD MID-TOWER CASE and VERY OLD PSU, which is probably a 250W model on the specs you suggested.

I say GOOD LUCK making that run. IF you make it run though say hello to random reboots.

@elpropesor: Please heed our advice (me and AMD_infinium05's). Use a full ATX case (second hand from Buy and Sell Section of istorya), AND a NEW PSU, do not use that old Mid-Tower case and that old PSU, if you're planning to buy a new system.

Anyway you look at it, when you buy a new system, treat it as an investment, don't skimp on components like PSU and a casing with good airflow.
