What to do now?

[+Despair]

Ok so recently my school was recylcing its pc's so I decided i was going to take these PC's and strip them down and take a few things along with one prebuilt PC.

Here are the specs of the PC i took:

Dimension 4600

Hard Drive

40GB WestGate Hard Drive

Proccesor
Intel® Pentium® 4

Chipset
Intel 865PE or 865G

Video
Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics controller AGP video card AGP 8X

Power Supply

250 Watt Power Supply

Height of case

36.8 x 18.4 x 42.6 cm

RAM
Two Patriot Memory PSD2G400KH 2GB PC3200 CL3
Two Axiom Memory Solutions 1GB

Now for aside from these what i took:

Two Extra CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drives

A SeaGate Barracuda ATA IV 40GB HD

Five 512 MB RAM cards

Ten 256 MB RAM cards

One 112 MB Ram card

Basically what can i do with this PC? I am not to sure if it will just boot up as I have yet to go out and purchase another power chord for it (it was missing). Do you think there is a possibilty of making this a gaming rig? What about just a nice super fast pc? Thanks for your thought. :gobz:

This isn't a fantastic PC, I doubt you could make it into a gaming PC without spending a lot of money. The best thing you could do is invest in a Solid State Drive, that'll make any PC run lightning fast.

everything sucks, if you wanted to upgrade youd need a better motherboard to fit the socket for the CPU
there is no GPU, it is on the motherboard built in,
the power supply is very very weak
along with that the RAM is probably 1 or 2 channeled which makes it slow and worthless
sorry for killing your crysis dreams

ya Id go for that, maybe teach yourself some computer things like you could maybe set up a RAID 0 with the 2 HDDs but idk if that mobo has a raid controller and cant be bothered researching haha

As for the rest of the RAM and CD drives should i just sell them off only keeping the one gb and two gb?

That computer you just described slaughters my PC. Right now, I would kill to have your PC even though it does suck. You can do web surfing, load Visual Studios run Photoshop and everything but don't expect video rendering and gaming...

if theres more ram slots use them, multiple CD drives would be silly
