Well on Saturday i had to help move my lil bro stuff out of his apartment to our house, and noticed a guy who had a yard sell.
So we stopped by and i say a Gateway computer, and bought it for $20 wit and extra Ethernet cable.
I thought it was a pretty good by.
When i got home had to clean up some of the gunk on the outside.
Well i took the mouse and keyboard from our old desktop, and moniter and hooked up the computer, and it powered up, but didn't display anythin' on the moniter.
So i rechecked my connections and they were fine.
So after that i took the side cover on the case and inside everythin' was covered in dust, and some cobwebs.....
So i took some things out and cleaned it out of the dust.
The heatsink for the CPU under the fan had dust caked on there it was nasty...
So i cleaned that out, and then took everythin' out, and then took apart the case parts on the outside.
And now everythin' is apart in my livin' room. lol.

I was wonderin' if i could put in another motherboard in the Gateway case and mod it to whateva i want....
It came wit a Quatum HDD, an extra moniter PCI card, and an extra sound card i think...
It suppose to have a P4 that i know of....

On wit the pictures:





























What do you guys think??
This is my first computer build up.
Thanks for any input.
