It has an ecs Elitegroup board with an amd sempron single core processor, 1gb of ram,nvidia 5200fx with tv out, 13gb hard drive, dvd,dvdburner, and yeah thats it lol. its a fun toy to tinker with and see how far i can push it till it crashes or fries a component.
the good pc that i don't overclock tho is an hp pavilion dual core with 4gb of ram and an nvidia 9600 oc. it games like a beast.
wow i should clean my wall unit....

The point is you gotta get that thing begging you for mercy:p
I found an old proliant ml530 server in my garage yesterday with twin xeon 1000mhz chips inside no less, its H-U-G-E. some nice delta like fans in there too! [they are coming out.] :cool:
Have fun with that rig man and post up your results here.:)

Purple PCB's are not something you see much of these days.

Exactly what I was thinking, looks very original. I'd have to pick up some purple electric tape spray or dipping liquid to get a nice purple like that :confused1:

yeah its a cool color, i used to have a red mobo but i think that one fried and i threw it away, lol. heres a little update tho. i somehow wrecked my little 13gb hard drive when i crashed during over clocking so while looking through my parts box i happened to find a 30gb. the only thing i had to do was run fdisk /mbr to get rid of the grub loader on it and now it works great with all my overclocking programs on it.
Hey I still have that ECS board with an old Duron in it. Good little board but it did die a few years ago.

yeah its a good board but the bios overclock feature sucks so i did it through clock gen, recently tho i got this little processor up to 1.8ghz for literally counted 30 seconds before it crashed and took the 30gb hardrive with it so now i have to format it and start over again, lol you win some you lose some
