What you think of my $61 Computer.

Depco Computer $6 in a pile o stuff at an auction
Asus P4T
423 P4 1.7
LS-120 Drive
Creative Ensoniq
350 PS (loose inside Case)
Nice Case, but nothing fancy with HD cage removed :mad:
Creative 52X CD ROM (busted) (yanked in favor of the CDRW)

256 MB of borrowed RDRAM Pulled from a Dell
60mm Fan $10 for the CPU heatsink which was missing the fan.
Extra Radeon 7000 PCI 64MB $40
10/100 card from junk pile
6GB HD from junk pile.
MSI CR-52 CDRW Drive $5 off a friend
 
Doesn't sound too bad, except for the 6 gig hard drive...

Plus I would check to see if the RAM works since mose Willamete P4s, IE Socket 423s, usually work with boards that take RDRAM, but I do not know personally for that board.
 
OK now to finish the post yeah it works, I'm posting from it right now.
It needed a restart (doesn't seem to like the PCI video card) I am looking into getting AGP card, hopefully that will resolve the issue.

Click to expand...

Does it have onboard video, could be an IRQ issue.
 
Gosh, I love that computer. I'd use it as a server. It's sweet. :)
