Hi, I recently got my hands onto a old Dell Media Server pc.
It has a Pentium 4 3Ghz CPU (LGA 478) in it and it got me thinking, can this thing even run Tetris?
Nah, but seriously, I'm looking to use this in a gaming pc but I have no idea where to start. I'm looking to at least overclock it to 4Ghz MINIMUM, and run games like Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead.
I'm planning on only reusing the CPU so I need to buy a new case, motherboard, RAM, hard drive and graphics card.
My budget is $400 and can be expanded.
Also, it would be really great to watercool the CPU, if possible.
Remember, this is a build, I already have a great gaming pc, I just want to have the experience of such a build.
