If there are no more obvious replacements, then I will probably just go ahead and build this. I have done quite a bit of research into the processor and gfx card etc and they seem to offer good value for money

Thanks for that spot on the HDD. Don't see any difference in the two except on price. Ideally I will just get everything with ebuyer, unless of course there is an insane bargain to be had, otherwise it's just more hassle than what it's worth

Hope people can give me some pointers on a computer I am planning on building. I reckoned this offered pretty good value for money, but I'm sure more experienced folk will prove me wrong. Thanks in advance guys for the help Approximate Purchase Date: Two weeks Budget Range: £275 System Usage...

defo not worth it in my opinion. thanks for the help you guys.

after much scouring, found out the board is an Intel® Desktop Board D845EPI. 1-0 me! out in 2003 i think. maybe not quite as old as my mum, but still...

I had an old comp I gave them that is better anyway. If the mobo is getting the green light, does that in any way mean that it is not actually dead? also, what is the deal with the beeps? None atall = goner? I suppose any thing that happens, good or bad can be a learning experience. I am pretty...

It might actually be older than my mum

Yeah my mum bought it a while back. It's an emachines mutherfucker. One of those types. will have a look in the meantime closer and see if there is anything on the main board that could mean anything useful.

I was going to list specs but don't actually know the Mobo. It is a celeron 325 with 256MB ram. I have bought an extra gig for it but not installed it yet because of this problem. cant find anything on the board to suggest the model, except intel. there is an exhaustive list on intel's website...

Basically my rents' computer is busted. It is really, and i mean really basic. It does the job for them though. For some reason, it looks like the monitor isn't picking up anything anymore. Turning the power on and all the fans start spinning, green light on mainboard but nothing on the screen...
