My son wants to build a computer that can run Windows o8SE. Don't ask why, 10 year olds don't always make sense lol. So what I'm looking for is some old socket A parts or a whole PC. Of course I'm not looking to spend a lot. Let me know what you have.
Parts I still need
AGP graphics card. Old...
This is one of the coolest things I have seen, it isn't a PC mod, but I didn't know where else to put it. The GT3 replica is powered entirely by foot and it is street legal!

I also included the performance. A nearly 50% decrease in temps for the 780 ti is is pretty impressive to me at least.
Not sure if this will get them making a 12-core 24-threaded Ivy Bridge E processor, but here is hoping they do!
