and an ugly grey case.

I'm wondering whether or not to get it going again.

ALL DRIVES (HD & optical) ARE MISSING, and the RAM is gone too.

Is it worth spending on?

1. New case - the gf won't have the sight of the thing in the house.

2. RAM - I think I remember these boards like matched simms, and its gonna need at least 2 x 512MB, preferably PC3200 in order to get the 2GHz CPU to do some decent work.

3.Hard disk. I have a couple of small hard drives to do for now, and even a 3.5" to 2.5" adapter to use the new 2.5" 7200rpm drive I just got.

4. Optical drive is taken care of via an external Sony drive,but will my IDE-connected 2.5"drive suffice to boot & install the other drives?

5. I have a 64MB AGP card to throw in too.

And whilst I'm asking, the board supports SATA drives. Are these much better than IDE?

OR:

Shall I just salavage the soundcard / supply / and build on a better board with faster CPU / RAID / Gigabit LAN / better sound options?

just installed geforce 6600GT card with latest driver. now my pc struggles to boot up, freezing at various points, but pressing reset (up to several times) seems to clear the problem. is it a driver conflict or a power problem or what? using Xp.

You said that lcd is for flat screen. This may be an ignorant question to you, but there are not stupid questions. Would they work on flat screen computers? Do not laugh, I am just a poor old granny. Ok, not that old.

Alright, I am currently on a bare-minimum budget, but that doesn't mean I can't save up. I have a part-time job in HS, thus, it is very easy to make money in this point of my life, as I don't have to pay off bills. : P So while I don't have money now, that can change in a few months. Thus, don't hold back when recommending me what to buy.

I need a list of elements of a computer, from the most critical to the least, and preferably, the best of each kind. Keep in mind that if there is something new coming out within' the next six months, put that instead, because that's when I would most likely buy my parts and have enough money to do so.

The motherboard is...well....not able to be upgraded once you buy it, so I don't want to cut ANY corners on this. Tell me the best motherboard I can get now, or in the future.

I have 1 Gigabyte of RAM and 512 MB of RAM which I will use in my new comp. It should be enough to last until I get a 2 GB in. That should be an insane amount of RAM.
