i have an old dell dimension 4300 motherboard and it has a metal back-plate of sorts attached to it i was wondering if i could take this metal piece off and stick the motherboard in a case to save money.
pci express is different than pci.. that board has agp and pci..Also, don't plan on buying a GPU because those PCI slots are a VERY old standard
That's what I meant, yespci express is different than pci.. that board has agp and pci..
a pci express card will not work in there
it sounds like to me that your discouraging me which is fine and yes i have ram a psu and a usb card and amzon seems to have reather inexpanzie thingsThat's the future pro hacker for you ^^V
Sorry mate but as some.others mentioned, even if this thing still works you would need some.very old stuff to make it into a complete working computer.
Just putting random stuff together won't do !
Ever read any data sheets of different mainboards ? Usually there is stuff like socket type and ram type and so on.
This thing probably uses SD Ram or worse ... Found some old stuff at work that had 12 MB ram build in a few month ago XD
If you don't have any money it would cheaper to get a raspberry pi instead of using this !
A raspberry with everything included is usually sold for 30-50$

oh crap man im sorry really i am i didnt mean to sound niave or anything im really am sorry i am young and im still learningWell yeah sorry actually I was a tiny little bit "angry" if you want to call it that as my dream allways was to become the IT guy.
I started with 6 years installing OS repairing / exchanging computer parts but I was not good enough in school and even though I was very interested it took me until I was finaly 26 years old ! until I could finaly step into the IT World (I just wrote my examination and hope I succeeded) so for me it is kind of offending if some kid says he wants to be a pro hacker and whatever who doesn't seem to really have done his homework.
But than again as I am usually a nice guy I gave you the hint to maybe get a Raspberry Pi which is really cheap and does everything you need ! probably much better than this old stuff you got there.
The Problem with IT is that it is not getting easyer to learn even though it is getting easyer to use !
Nowadays its all just plug and play ... I have 3 trainees here for 2 weeks each and damn they were like "I use a phone and play games now I want to get into IT" oO
These guys didn't even know what a Bios is, I hid some Icons on the Laptop of one guy and he was close to start to scream as he thought I would have deleted all his data ...
People beeing that carefree make me slightly angry as for it was very hard and I could not be carefree at all.
