Hi there,
So I know I was just on here around 9 p.m. e.t. asking about a laptop vs. DIY PC, but like I said in my previous post, I thought that I might have some old computer-junk from before my time (I'm in High School), I even referenced an old IBM PC that my dad used to have. While I found out that that PC was given away, I also found out that my dad still has our two old Apple Imac G3's (circa 2000/2001) All-in-one's, and I thought of a very unusual idea.
First, I'd gut both completely, and see how much space I'd have to work with. After that I'd add new, nicer LCD screens, and I'd buy new Motherboards, HDD's and all other essential parts. I'd basically take it from an all-in-one Imac to an All-in-one PC, which I thought would be pretty cool.
The point of this thread is just to see if anyone here has any thoughts, experience, or just general comments about this idea of mine. I think I'll end up doing it, depending on the budget my parents give me for the project.
In addition I'm definitely going to take that old laptop and upgrade it completely for my mom, who is in need of a work computer for her new business.
Any comments/discussion/thoughts on my idea are always appreciated
Thanks!
