picked up an old acer veriton m221 tower thats all original minus the hdd as i used it in a computer i just sold on an auction for £6.50 and i quite like it, havent sorted out an os yet as been focused elsewhere(sold my antec **** cube and working on my APU system to sell) and its cool that it has tool less fixings..
it is going against me wanting sff types, but lets me play around with it and beside i use my old dell latitude d600 lol.
anyways the current spec just so you get the idea.
acer board
athlon 5000b dual core
2gb ddr2 800mhz(supports 4gb max, but only 2 slots, although board as indication 2 more slots can be fitted?? )
onboard ati radeon 2100 graphics
sata label flash dvd drive
liteon 250w psu
i will have either 3 or 4 sata hdds connected but not as any raid as they obtain mine and my missus personal data, maybe a 5th if for some reason the os on either drive doesnt get accepted, but i probably wont have any pci adapters unless i need them..
however i will add some sort of case cooling(no modding just a fan or fans) and rather than buy any multimedia/gaming card i will buy either a quadro nvs 295 or better or ati equivalent as i want to try out cad software and the like as i havent had chance yet and ofcourse one that will work with windows 7 pro..
so yeah will the psu hold out before the pci e x16 card and after i add one? it has 15a on the 12v rail and no liteon product ive ever had gave way, i will sort out a 2x2gb kit, but for now im going with what ive got and if the psu wont last then whats the lowest power you'd suggest?
cheers
