1. My Computer Rebuild A step by step look at Refurbishing an old p.c. Click thru at your leisure

2. Why do this I hear you say, well, after months of erratic behavior (from the P.C. not me) I came to the conclusion the motherboard was rooted. I didn’t want to spend a lot on a new board but unfortunately due to the age of the p.c. no new boards supported my processor, ram, or even the agp video card. I spoke to some tech guys all of which said “do a clean install of Windows or the pc will blue screen you on boot” BULLSHIT Well I managed it with no problems.

3. Ok. The mother board is asus P5K-E wifi edition Note the all copper heat dispersion tube, handy if its sitting in a 45 degree garage

4. Pentium Core 2 Quad Four processors is insane Well actually I hear its really just 2 core 2 duo’s soldered together.

5. 2 Gig of 800 MHz matched RAM In and ready to go

6. Mounted into the case. Install graphics card. GeForce 8600GT. pci express.

7. Lights and internal speaker Note the six internal SATA plugs USB Fire wire

8. Easy fit rails no screws

9. Dampered mounts 5 Hdd’s 1140 Gig

10. All wired up and ready to go. I have only connected the one drive at the moment as I didn’t want to stress it on first boot

11. The repair O.K. This is the trick. insert the windows disk boot into it. Then ask it to install windows, it will detect a previous copy of windows and will ask if you would like to repair it, say yes. Don’t use repair console directly otherwise you will end up loosing all your cool settings that took years to get just right

12. Then boot up, install new motherboard drivers and utilities, update bios via flash utility, install graphics card drivers, run a program called dial-a-fix to repair the windows auto update function, and bob’s your uncle, one fully functioning P.C. Tech Guys are lazy fuckers!!!

13. Ooh look 4 yes 4 processors!

14. Running memtest utility to test the integrity of the ram

15. There you go simple wasn’t it.
