haven't chased a replacement computer since the old one stopped booting. I need to look at a couple things too, I will try to get on that.

I just picked up a bunch of old PCs from the local schools for scrap. What specs do you need

there are a couple complete machines (computer and heads, no lift or rotary tables) on ebay in the midwest for very reasonable money.

none that old.

The oldest PC I think we got was a single core 2 duo. The rest are first gen i3s, i5s.

yeah, this thing is like a Pentium, give or take a generation. Might even be a 486.

figured it would be better than hacking together an old PC to get his current system working.
