Those HP basterds started using proprietary motherboards that have no expansion slots

yeah, i bought a new (used) mother board with a better processor, thinking that it would just be a take out old, slap in new kinda thing, only to find out its a bit more complicated than that >.< lol

Get an ultra cheap case and move all of the components over.

The PSU should mount a-okay.

You'll have to fight with undoing all of the HP brackets, but it'll be worth it.

And if the mobo / cpu don't have onboard video, it's time to get a super sweet GPU.

hmmm that's actually a good idea. im not great with computers or anything, but i have enough common sense to piece things together big_smile ill have to look into that, cause i can def. afford a new case.

If you need any lolvice on parts or the actual teardown and rebuild, lemme know.

I've upgraded many a friend's HP desktop in my day.

Daniel Levy · 6/02/12 11:03 PM

hay exsdmex wut is this little city inside of my metal bawks? All of the tower things blew up sad

What motherboard / CPU did you get?

Shandrew82 · 6/02/12 11:06 PM

LOL, after i answer your question, the first part of your post is gonna be oh so el oh el.

Im not quite sure. i bought it from goodwill's computer section for 20 bucks yikes its supposedly got a 2.6ghz amd processor, and theres 4 slots for ram, 2 gigs included. and it really does look like a giant city >.<

Lol, i tried taking out the cpu's and swapping them....right before i put the new one in my pc i thought "is this really a smart idea?" and decided i should probably seek professional help before proceeding lol.

Daniel Levy · 6/02/12 11:07 PM

Oh my...

Shan, what have you done!

Post pix.

Shandrew82 · 6/02/12 11:09 PM

lmao okay, lemme get my phone charged and ill post it up.

Daniel Levy · 6/02/12 11:17 PM

Well, it has four slots for RAM and includes 2 Gigabytes.

If it was a Pentium 4 era combo, it wouldn't have that much RAM with it (DDR is too expensive).

Most likely has DDR2; DDR3 is too new.

Could be an early Core 2 Duo, or an Athlon 64?
