    Are these parts usable with my broken computer?

    It's all decent hardware. Throw in a new hard drive, re-use the optical drive, and re-use the case if the parts will fit.

    Bumped - Computer Project, $650 tops

    Better, but it could still use a little tweaking: That power supply pads its watt rating by putting a ton of amps on the 5v rail, where they won't do you much good. It only pushes 16 watts on the 12v rail (in line with the other 300 watt Micro ATX power supplies on Newegg), which may cut it...

    Are these parts usable with my broken computer?

    We have no idea if any of the parts you listed will fit because you've barely given us any information about what it is you've got to work with. We don't know if it's a laptop or a full tower, so we can't tell you if the new parts you want to buy will fit into its case. You basically asked us if...

    Great bargains from E-bay / Garage / Yard / Car boot sales

    Re: Great bargains from E-bay / Garage / Yard / Car boot sal I reed very goodly. :dah: You may or may not be able to use HL2. It's almost definitely tied to someone else's account already, but I don't know how Valve handles secondhand copies. Try emailing their Steam support before installing...

    Great bargains from E-bay / Garage / Yard / Car boot sales

    Re: Great bargains from E-bay / Garage / Yard / Car boot sal That's irrelevant because no CD key was included. Basically, Abyss paid the thrift store for an incomplete copy of the HL2:Ep1 installation media. It doesn't matter how many copies of the install media you have, but if you don't have...

    Great bargains from E-bay / Garage / Yard / Car boot sales

    Re: Great bargains from E-bay / Garage / Yard / Car boot sal If you don't have a key, you don't own the software. HL2:Ep1 is tied to Steam, anyway. Please don't steal from Valve. :(

    I fixed a macbook with a hair-dryer

    Try reflowing the motherboard with a heat gun. (CPU and GPU, especially.) I bought a Wagner for $25 at Lowes, and it gets hot enough to melt solder. It's great for parts salvage, but I haven't tried it on anything I care about yet. (If you don't find it with the power tools, check the paint...

    The Official ModRetro Minecraft Server [New-er! Poll Within]

    Re: The Official ModRetro Minecraft Server [New-er! Poll Wit How well-ventilated is the NES case you crammed it into? A big fan isn't going to do anything if it's just circulating the same half a cubic foot of air (or trying to make a vacuum by pulling all the air out of a case with no intake...
