    I remember (honestly) going into a garage in New Jersey when I worked there with some car trouble. I asked the mechanic if I should pop the bonnet. He looked at me like I was a cigarette until his boss explained.

    I took an old Compaq's innards and transferred them to a used case for my stepson. IT still has XP. He found them both in the trash. The board is so old there are no SATA ports on it and it has a floppy drive.
    This is a real nice case, a Gigabyte 3D Aurora, but not much in the way of cable management.
    Pentium4 2.66GHz, 1GB DDR400, 160GB HDD IDE 133. Slower than molasses in January.

    He had dropped off 6 junkers and wanted two or three good ones out of it, he got 2 and I got a spare Corsair 530W modular PSU and the old Compaq case for a micro ATX build someday.

    Nice job Gary

    You might try one of those IDE to SATA converter boards.
    NewEgg or the real cheap ones from eBay (made in China)

    Thanks Jack, I'd thought of one of those, but the boy isn't too keen on spending money, just MY time.

    Hello Guys!

    Haven't been around in a very long while, and probably won't be able to check in as often as I'd like to for a long while.

    As I told Steve, who contacted me via PM some weeks ago, I was enjoying my self so much with the building thing that, together with my younger brother, I started a performance and modding shop a couple of months ago. It is called Skull Squadron Extreme Gaming and Performance.
    We are doing very well so far and it is the first time in my life that I'm thrilled to have to go to the office every morning.

    I miss your companionship and good vibes guys!

    Steve, Alan, Ryan, Tommy, Paul and Alsis: your advice, friendship, positive comments and patience were instrumental in making the decision to start this new business venture. Thanks a lot!

    As I promised to Steve, I will be regularly posting pics of what we are doing for your viewing pleasure but most of all for your comments, advice and critique.

    Next Monday we will start putting together a very special high performance rig to be presented in a trade show by the end of the month. It will be called "Steve's Death Star". Will post pics of the whole process and some pro shots of the end result. It will be an awesome rig!

    For now I leave you with some pics of what's on the workbench right now and will upload some more of previous builds in other posts.

    Again, thanks a lot!!!

    Awsome stuff, Juan. Hang around here more, I'm sure you take a break occasionally. Those are some fantastic pics you posted. I can't wait to see the next pics. Congratulations on opening the shop. Very well done. Hope it works out well for you.
