Yesterday I acquired a Gateway 510 series system which was sitting out for trash. My best find ever even if it doesn't boot!
Specs:
P4 2.8/1M/800 Prescott socket 478
512MB PC3200 (2 x 256)
120GB IDE HDD
DVD-RW and DVD-ROM
FX 5200 AGP
SB Audigy 2 ZS
So after testing all the parts I concluded that the only thing that is dead is either the mobo. I don't have a board to test the cpu but I would bet its still good. Every other component works in my other systems.
This case takes mATX boards and it has a standard ATX psu so it will be an easy swap out. I'm not too well informed on the Intel based mATX boards so can someone recommend a good board to fit this system? I'd like to have OC abilities, nothing major, but I'm sure if this cpu works it could use a good OC'ing. I want to get as much Foldage out of it as I can
Thanks in advance.
