Need Computer bits! lol Help please?

[Luciel]

Ok guys i know this might sound a bit selfish but ive been here for a while so i though id ask, ok so, my fiancee's computer has finally gave up (an old 200mhz pentium) and im building her a more modern one from bits and pieces for her birthday, it's meant to be a surprise as she really loved her pc, trouble is i cant seem to find any cheap second hand pieces around here anymore, the deadline is next friday too! so i was wondering, have any of you guys got any old or new or in between (lol) bits or pieces (or both) lying around you want to get rid off? I know im making a bit of a frankenstein but she doesnt care about quality or perfomance, all she wants is to be able to use internet and play heroes of might and magic 3, remember guys, it has to get here by friday!

Anything is appreciated, thanks!

OMG, why didn't you came up with this 10 days earlier :D ?

I had a lot of stuff, which I had to get rid off (cos my wife said so :D:D), so I gave the parts away and some were sold on ebay..... DAMN, I would have liked to help you (and I had been able too....).

Sorry dude, good luck !!

Yeah thats a shame I just got rid of an MSI board with onboard sata and a 2.8XP chip on it.

I shall see what I have lying around my shop on Monday.

There is a possibility I have an FX5200 128MB lying around.

[Luciel]

thanks man i really appreciate that, but i cant pay you anything, only postage, that is the prob, relying on generosity here :/

[DABhand]

Dont worry about it :)

Ill be glad to get rid of old stuff I have lol its taking up room a bit ;)


But on the CPU end, I may only have something like a P3 or early P4 (1.4ghz or about)..


And I may have a 256mb PC2700 stick lying around, im sure of that.

Ill tell ya more on Monday.

[Luciel]

[DABhand]

If you got a board that supports DDR, I have 512mb Crucial PC3200 :P

[DABhand]
