Lucky for me, my older brother who lives away starting building a gaming rig and abandoned it half ways through. It is technically finished, but some parts need upgrading. So this my plan so far.
1. Get his PC and boot it up to see if its working (it already has XP installed)
Here is my first problem. I don't think he can remember his password to the administrative account, and I think he lost the installation CD's, so how do I get administrative access?
2. Open it up and give it a new video card and hard drive, then add a new monitor, keyboard and mouse.
3. Get it hooked up to the internet.
4. uh...now what, do I update drivers or something, help me out please.
