After acquiring several trashed machines, I have found one that is the most likely to function. I believe it is somebody's old custom-built machine.
Specs;
1. http://www.asrock.com/mb/SIS/939S56-M/
2. Unidentified AMD Athlon x2
3. Unidentified graphics adapter
4. 2 OCZ DIMMs
5. Antec SL350 PSU
I will be replacing the PSU as it made an unsettling noise just being plugged in (did not try powering on yet). I'm also installing an old 80GB IDE hard drive since the original has been removed. I will only power the machine with 2 DIMMs arranged according to the manual instructions.
Toms, what else should I consider doing to prevent from frying this system (if it isn't already)? Is X Power a bad PSU brand?
