Tech Power Up Hardware Purchase Advice

[Shrek]

It is a newer unit because I can see the 24 pin (psu) to 20 pin (mobo) adapter.

I'm confused, why use a converter? as it looks like the original will split.

Greenslade, ask the seller if he can provide you a picture of the power supply label. It is a newer unit because I can see the 24 pin to 20 pin adapter. You want to see the make, model, watts, and ratings for +5 volts.

I have just sent the message to the seller ,there a business seller unlike the seller i got the PC i have to send back.Plus they are only selling PC parts.
I thought you would have to have an AGP slot to install 98se?I thought core 2quad was to new for 98 se?He says
NOTE: It is not recommended to use Compact Flash Cards as a long term operating system solution. Does anyone agree with him?

I have just seen this
Retro Windows XP PC,Athlon XP 2400,2GB Ram,Floppy,80GB HDD,New Coolermaster Case £70 make an offer.
I have asked the seller if it defnetly works, after the one i have to send back did not work when the seller said it did.
This desktop has been built into a new / old stock Coolermaster case to make a very nice Windows XP SP3 PC. The operating system has a totally clean driver list and works perfectly. The PC has an Athon XP 2400 CPU, Soundcard, 2GB Ram, working and tested floppy and a 80GB HDD.”It looks very clean inside there wherether it woks is another thing. If i go the.This looks like it is new.What do you think of Cooler Master.

Disagree. Been doing it on client PCs for years with no issues. Everyone has got a different school of thought though.

What do you disagree with Lex?

What do you mean Lex?

What I mean is CompactFlash is very reliable. As discussed earlier, as long as you buy a brand name card, you will have no problems.

I get your point there Lex The Pc i had to send back is on its way back to the seller.
