Power supplys are so overrated... lmao.


Yeah, it's easily worth it, and I'd offer ~$300.

 

[Dial_tone]

There's no mention of a case either...pretty much assumed.

I'd just go to costco and buy a new one for $400.

The risk is there is no warranty if something breaks and it sounds like this is a home shop throw together.

I'd like to start from teh motherboard up, but this is just in a pinch becuase of having 2 computers fail recently. My desktop has been crankin along since 1999 too, lmao.

The computer in the original post has XP Pro with a COA and restore disk, if that makes any difference.
