Hi guys, I currently have a Mac book pro that I use for all my school work but I have a old desktop that has just been sitting around and I want to do something with it. I want to re use the case, the Fan at the back, the PSU, the CD drive and the HD if possible. I plan to use Ubuntu for the OS. The build will mostly be used internet browsing, email, youtube, music and watching some movies...etc nothing too taxing. Do you think this will be possible? the HD is IDE i think so could i use this with newer MoBo with a convertor? The computer that is being salvaged/used for parts id the eMachines T6216 from around 2005
I think all I need is the CPU, mobo, and ram. What would be the best possible combo of those three i could get for $200 or under? I think the current PSU is 320 watts so that may be a limiting factor. Thanks for any help I'm still learning
