(yet another) Compaq Presario sleeper
Decided to try one of these out, wanted a ~$1,000 build, combination of new and used parts.
Floppy drive is functional, and I use it for a Sony Mavica camera (neat camera, it saves to floppies).
Next up is a firewire PCIe card for the mini dv camcorder footage, and making the cd drive and front usb ports functional.
Specs:
Powercolor 9070xt (used $600)
Ryzen 5 7500x3d ram/mobo/cpu combo (new $300)
16gb ram
Asrock b850m
750w PSU (used $40)
Presario case (used $60)
Tower cooler and two case fans (new ~$75 total)
DM me if you want the old internals (everything except the cd and floppy drive), it turned on when it got delivered, but I didn't have a vga cable to really see if it was working. Seller said it was working with Windows XP.
Also, let me know if you have a SAT dvd or cd writer you want to get rid of.
