I dug out my old box, I thought it was pretty slick until I powered it up.
Every fan that is attached to the motherboard either sounds like it is going to explode or rattles the case like an off balance washing machine... so I think I may start over.
Am I correct on this, or am I just that horrible at figuring things out. Is the disk that holds the OS, completely unusable for storage? My confidence in USB thumb drives is fairly non-existent, and I am not seeing too many other options for small affordable media that was made in the last 12 years.
Other part is, I'd like to just order some new guts and put together a machine (hopefully reuse this case) but compatibility scares me. Most stuff like this seems to be intended for older equipment getting slapped together. Anything to stay clear of? Anything that is an easy win, as integrated components?
