I bought a bare bones unit, preloaded with XP Pro(which is what I want to use) and I plan to modify this considerably…any particular order to do these things:
new case; new power supply; more memory; add a sata hd dr; add a video card (PCI x); add a sound card(PCI); add another dvd burner (not sata); add another hd drive (not sata); didn’t come with monitor, so add new monitor. It did come with 1 sata hd; one multiport card reader; one dvd burner (sata) and did use on board video and sound.
I have built a computer from scratch before, but since I am starting with this bare bones unit and going from there, I wondered if there were some thoughts about how to go about all this.
Yes…a lot of changes and IF I had spent the grand total on the unit, it still would not be configured as I wanted, so feel this wil afford my custom setup for a budget price.
Thanks to all.
