I have a very old PC that I found in my broken shed...

I put it back together and it boots.. however I get loads of errors and I want to know what I should do with it: a) sell b) bin c)throw into apple HQ

the mobo: HT2000 mcp61pm-am rev 1.0A
gpu: 8500GT
1GB DDR2 (512x2)
athlon 64 x2

i deally i would put it an old case and an old psu however its pretty Star out swear words. and mobo looks like ****. i mean mobos rusty lol..

could i replace mobo and then I could have a working old PC? could use it to hold lots of data for CCTV etc.. (sata 133 tho)

here is the piece of ****:

im only opening this post because it takes up space in my garage and if i can get it working i can hide it away as a server with a power plug to it
 
D) Keep it.

Frankenstein quote comes to mind.... It's alive....It's aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiveeeeeeeeee.

Once restored, demand that people call you The Doctor.
 
Gotta be C.

Well, not really. Depending on the specs, though it's unlikely that it'll be good enough.
 
No I mean some hardware is literally ****ed it does not work anymore.. scroll through the pictures on the imgur link and you'll see.. well if i can isolate the problem and then I might keep it but if the entire system is bucked up then ill have to mash it up and eat it

got any ideas to test if its a bad mobo or ram? i've got 2 spare 160gb hdds, a spare decent PSU and a spare case to put it in.. got no ideas how i can test the mobo, or the ddr2 ram.

anyways would it matter if i just bought the cheapest am2 ddr2 motherboard available or should i get a decent one and why

Why is some DDR2 so cheap? You can buy 1.8v chinese (lifetime warranty) DDR2 ram for as little as £20 yet server ram costs around £50-100 so whats the reason behind such cheapness?
