ROCO*AFZ* Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 LOL my wife was just complaining about my 3 tower pc graveyard next to my desk. I keep telling her it's spare parts for in case something goes but i don't think she's buying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR6 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 @Rocky - did you mention what brand PSU you got to replace your old one? I had an old Enermax PSU in a P3 700MHz years ago that actually emitted smoke when it died. BTW, I think you PSU warranty gets voided if you open up the unit right? I agree with just using the compressed air method @Roco - yes, I also have probably too many old systems sitting around. Like an old farmer, you never know when a part comes in handy to fix your's or a friend's computer. Last year I cleared out all my P3 and older systems, and now just have nothing older than P4 Socket 478 systems for spare parts. I was able to resurrect an elderly friend's old P4 1.6GHz whose motherboard shorted out with a spare mobo and 2.4GHz P4 + 2GB RAM - he was pretty pleased with the speed upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
