Modifing old desktop machine in new case
Hi,
I've been pondering the idea to put this old desktop in a newer case for quite a while,
Acer aspire AX3810-U3802A which is a good system great 7 64 bit install I do all graphic's work on it.... it has very poor cooling but I did upgrade the ram to Crucial 8gb pack 4x2gb
Has a meager ASUS GT 640 in it now and no I did not pay that much for it I believe it was 85.us
Amazon.com: ASUS Graphics Card GT640-1GD3-L: Computers & Accessories
I happen to have a EVGA 980 hybrid hanging around,
Amazon.com: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Hybrid 4GB GDDR5 256bit, PCI-E 3.0, DVI-I, 3 x DP, HDMI, SLI, HDCP, Air-Water Hybrid Graphics Cards 04G-P4-1989-KR: Computers & Accessories
After replacing it in my new build for a ASUS 980-P 20th anniversary gold
The pins are identical in length :/ wondering if it will work on my older
desktop if a new case and of course psu is used
Costs,
Case 120.us
Psu 160.us
Fans 80.us
EZ Swap EVO dual sdd hot swap 40.us
Fan controller and pci slot rpm twisters and cpu cooler Noctua NH-D14 =145.us
GPU 980 hybrid 600.us
Total 1060.00
Just ordered a Q9550 cpu 88.us
Amazon.com: Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q9550 2.83GHz 1333MHz 12MB LGA775 CPU, OEM: Computers & Accessories
