My computer of 8 years blew up today, well I think the power supply did (smells like burnt death). Going to try to salvage the hard drive.
I was looking at computer reviews and was torn between
Dell Vostro 460 and
Micro Express MicroFlex 25B. Both had similar specs and prices how I configured them but then I got to the shipping on the MicroFlex...that was a lot. So I went to Dell and found it wouldn't ship until the 17th which does not work for me.
So I basically took most of the MicroFlex parts and found them on newegg along with whatever else I needed and got the attached pic (had to use MS Paint for the first time in a long time for that.) Anything look glaringly wrong and incompatible or have an idea for a better part? This will save me a few hundred bucks compared to the pre-built comps and arrive pretty fast. Noticed for the motherboard a lot of folks saying it was DOA...well maybe not this pro model....only reason I went for that over the ones offered on micro express. Still, everything came out cheaper overall. Trying to build something that will last just as long as my last or longer.
PS: I don't know a damn thing about graphics cards...just went with the lower end one from the MicroFlex.
PPS: And not shown: your run of the mill DVD Burner.
Building a new comp. Help?
