its big an awkward but still smaller than my smart phone is, i remember seeing people with them and thinking no way could technology ever get better than that
Thank you, it works perfectly and I have the Sync dock, it was actually really easy to find the software for it, i found a couple games for it too. What i hate about it is you get it all set up but you dont want to store it with batteries and every time you take the batteries out it factory...
Alrite so I did a small inspection of the Nvidia video card I was suggested to use and a capacitor was broken off the board so that goes in the repair bin for now. The next most modern GPU I found is a Radeon HD6450. it has DVI VGA and HDMI which is a plus for me, and 1gb ddr3
And it is PCiE...
That's all awesome! Thanks very much everyone for the help. I will be cleaning and getting everything ready tomorrow. I have an awesome giant early 2000s gaming PC case that is really over the top ridiculous. it should be a fun and funny project
sweet! i ordered 1 stick of 4gb ddr3 for testing, if it works ill order 3 more ddr3 4gb. 16gb should be plenty?
it only uses pci express for GPUs, wow i hope i have one!
Hey there, I recently got a massive donation of used computer parts from a shut down computer shop. 95% of it is Pentium 4, its like 25 different GPUs, 10 Mobos, 500 sticks of ram. Just a mass of stuff that will pick the best of for my collection and send the rest away
Anyway the most modern...
So an update
i installed both of those sound cards and drivers and they worked.... Sorta
Some games played fine, even some with midi music played. Most games werent happy using it, or the MTI rage video card. Dos games are completely out of the question for the sound cards

A brand new 120mm fan i tested with my multimeter was drawing 1.5~ amps at 12v which is near 2 watts, so 3 old case fans at 12 volts could draw 6 watts. Not realy substantial i suppose
Not a smoker, Just 16 years of basement dwelling
Iam going to use a different case now anyway, instead of taking apart a working pc
Thanks for the reply!
Do all micro atx mobos screw in the same?
Thanks for the reply! good point on the power supply, i can still plug the 4 pin into the 8 pin and have plenty of power i thinkk
I dont have a pc to make the usb stick :( i was willing to pay 100$ for the convenience
So its corona time. Iam bored as hell and i dont have a modern pc, i have a pc i played on in 2008
its just a plain old black box with an old Asus motherboard with an intell core duo and windows xp. it played Return to castle wolfenstien on the highest setting and i was happy!
I have almost...
All done for now, back in 1 peice. On the list is beige speakers and a keyboard
Also the built in video chip only displays 16 color VGA. ATI still makes and sells video cards for legacy systems like POS machines and stuff, it should work well, that will be awhile shipping
I ordered 2 brand new...
Now imagine 20 years ago habing a 8g solid state floppy drive the size of your pinky and a 32g solid state hard drive?
That hard drive wouldve been 15,000$
