So I think my PSU took a shit, and I'd like to have a working desktop so....
this tower is very fucking old. I would like to slap a NEW: mobo, PSU, CPU, RAM [probably] in there. The case is fantastic, microATX size. I already have 2 burners and 2 HDDs in there that I would like to continue using, but they connect via IDE cable. I don't know if that's "old" now, or if i should just skip to using whatever is current and cheap?
Considering this, I don't want a superpowernewawesomeballsXBAWX PC tower, I just want a reliable usable thing other than my brand new laptop. Also for backups/etc. OH and for video/DVD production. I have the best IDE-cable dual layer burner in there that I could find [LG], so I'd like to keep using that as it has served me very well.
mobo?this mobo has 1 IDE/PATA channel I can utilize for my good burner hopefully. I'll just have to suck dick for the SATA hard drive setup i suppose.
CPU - I like this one for the price/rating. [maybe drop my price by switching this around, just picked it at first glance.]
RAMHard driveWhat I need help with now is the power supply.. I'm not sure if, because the case is referred to as 'microATX' that I'd be able to find a higher wattage ATX form factor PSU that would serve me better in this case... no pun intended.
