Thank you everyone for the help. Looks like i'll be building a new computer for my daughter. She deserves one after dealing with hand-me-downs for years anyway... now i just gotta reacquaint myself with modern hardware, haven't built a new rig since covid.

When i got everything apart (sorry, nearly 10yr since i adjusted hardware in this thing) i realized that I could just remove the fans from the cooling block and remove the RAM and GPU. It was very tight, and some pressure was applied to the cooling tower taking out the RAM but i didn't actually...

*Update* I was able to remove the GPU and all the ram other than DIMM in the A2 slot. At first the PC would turn it itself on and off rapidly, this happened around 10 times before it appeared to boot and is no longer showing a Q-code. However my monitor is not detecting any signal coming...

bought it! too tempting to have it tomorrow, to wait until the end of november =P

dont' envy me too much, it means i get to pay sales tax on everything they sell.

Yeah, i looked at the reviews it seems to be a solid unit. The free shipping doesn't actually affect me though.. i live 20min from the Newegg warehouse in NJ. Also, the bezel doesn't help me at all either, i'm not looking to ever do the eyefinity stuff. I just want a nice 1080p monitor to...

I'm looking for a second monitor (which will serve as the primary monitor) for my pc. I'm not a in a hurry, but this looks like a pretty good deal. ASUS VN247H-P...
