hey everyone
i got a aluminum case computer (big, bulky, and boxy) i got from a friend that said the hardrive crashed. so he had it in his warehouse for six month and it collected more dust and who knows what then i could imagine. i was amazed when i cleaned it i mean there was so much crap in it the power supply box was full. but i got it all clean. well plugged everything into it started it up and the video card so i went down to best buy or one of them stores and bought a e-geforce fx 5500 video card put it in started the comp up and it worked just fine well there was something else wrong with the computer cause it kept restarting and now i believe the motherboard fried because its never good to see smoke comeing off the board. this idc cause i want to replace everything in it cause i need a new computer bad. this one has a via p4pa-ul mother board with 3 256 ddr dimm,k ram, it has maxtor diamondmax plus 9 120 gb harddrive, and the pentium 4 chip. idk why this person had three sound cards but he had one built on the motherboard, one philips card, and one sound blaster audigy 2 z5 with the i guess the reciever in the front the remotes missing. can anyone sugest what to put in it and where to get them as cheap as possiable.
thank you
