Hoopty Rig Project....Stinger

[Capper]

So we need a new candidate for the next Hoopty Rig........post up some suggestions

Processor: Intel Celeron S478 (Capper)

Motherboard: ECS L4VXA2 (Capper)

Memory: 512MB Centon PC2700 (2x256) (Capper)

Video Card: ???? (Stix)

Case: Tuniq 3 (garetjax)

PSU: ???? (Stix)

HDD:

Optical Drive: (RAID)

Cooling: Stock (Capper)

Listed updated with parts I have......

Lets get busy on this so we can get it to a kid or family before the school year starts

Awesome! Glad to see that this program is still up and running. =)

I can donate a Tuniq 3 for the enclosure.

[Capper]

Yeah, we need to get this going more often........at least every 2-3 months

I have two "SX" 450W PSUs. I'll test them now. That should do well in a system like this one.

I also have a Celeron 1GHz S370, a sound card, and an AGP Video card (I think it has 2MB on it...not sure...probably better off with on-board), a PCI 8MB VGA card, at least one PCI network card, a plethora of cabling - all kinds, USB and Firewire PCI slot cards (it hooks up to the motherboard), and more.

As for other main rig parts;

AM2 Sempron 3000+ and a cooler for it, 2x128MB DDR-333 RAM, Pentium 1 400MHz and motherboard for it with 256MB SDRAM - this is a ready-to-go system with a 20GB hard drive and power supply, OR a Penitum 1 700MHz (a newer slot than the Slot 1 400MHz) and that's also a complete system with 256MB SDRAM and 20GB HDD, and some SDRAM.

I could easily build 3 computers in my house right now with a few more parts lol.

i have two 1GB sticks of DDR400 ram (1x Corsair Value Select and 1x G-Skill Value) ill throw in

Okay, Lets find a worthy candidate....sounds like we have enough parts for a couple rigs.....we can do one this month and one for July/August.

All we need is optical drives and cooling

[[Dr. V]]

Both PSUs mentioned first, and both fully built systems work perfectly. Along with the SDRAM. The only things I can't test are the Sempron CPU, the newfound Intel P4 CPU, and the DDR-333 RAM.

[[Dr. V]]

Sure, I could build at least one.

Or we could do a special feature - two this month!

Because with the one going, and one I can build, I'll STILL have enough for another one next month lol!

edit:

ESPECIALLY given that I just found a S478 Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz CPU IN MY DRAWER!

I can donate... You cant imagine the things we throw away. Such a waste!!! If you guys need any coolers, power supplies, or chassis for these, I can provide! We have chassis with a couple scratches that QC tosses cause they have scratches!!! Oh, I have some socket 478 and 939 chips sitting around too that I can donate.

[Capper]

That would be awesome Pete.

All we need to finish this one up is an optical drive......and someone to give the damned thing to. If anyone has a kid or family they know who needs a computer for school, please let us know so we can get this started.
