I have taken 2 HP Pavillions that were given to me and put in a few extras. Starting with a HP E9150F OEM ASUS M2N68-LA (Narra3) MOBO Nvidia OBG Phenom 9150 quad WD640 5 gig DDR 2 PC2 6400 plus the usual ports drives standard on such a machine.
The Doner machine a HP as well gave me A Phenom HD9750 quad 95 watt chip and 8 gig samsung DDR PC 6400 ram.
I added a Thermaltake 500 watt PS replaced the HD with a new Seagate Baracuda 1TB and a ASUS 6670 VC and installed a new OEM OS Windows 7 Pro CPU cooler Zalman CNP57000.
The unit runs fine and has not shown any problems except when I ran CPU-z it shows the motherboard as the one that the doner chip and Ram came from(OEM)Pegatron.
This unit was built to have fun and help me learn about computer basics before I build a larger scratch built computer.
If things do not work out with this project moving on will not be a problem as I can afford to start over however if this works out I can hold of untill a later time.
Uses of this or any machine Microsoft office stuff web itunes and general photo stuff.
