Yea. Runs Half Life well.
Thats' a huge case
I love those old school cases,Especially the ones that sat Horizontal.
I love ThinkPads too. I've owned an A31 and an R40 in the past and I used to be quite an active member over at the ThinkPad forums, but since I don't have either ThinkPads anymore, there's not a lot I can post on there anymore.
I was interested in getting a second hand X31 or X41 at some point. I love the X41, but it has rubbish hard drives (1.8" drives - slow and prone to failure), but I guess that's the price you pay to have a tiny little machine.
And you're going to put a 5770 into that desktop? You might want to upgrade the power supply...

I am trading a friend a lcd monitor from the dump for a brand new power supply, I believe it is a 550w coolmaster. His mobo fried before he could use it. And I got a 5770 for $35. Not to bad.
To bad my t40 is dead. Kept having to re-flow it, then it finally gave up and would not turn on.

Its the pentium D 915 2.8ghz with 2gb ram, 250gig sata harddrive. Was in the thinkcenter, I am putting the thinkcenter back to normal and selling to a friend for $10.
Lol, sorry, forgot to mention
CPU: Intel Q6600
RAM: 16GB Kingston Value (I believe 800MHZ) DDR2
MOBO: Asus P5K SE
GPU: EVGA 8800GT (going to be replacing with an updated card, as soon as i decide which one)
PSU: Olympus Titan 550W (Will do until I upgrade the GPU)
I still need to pick up an SSD, Optical Drive, and put the Hyper 212+ on (lapping it first).
Don't even ask me what the case is, no idea other than a piece of ...... Going to get the guy that I'm giving it to pick a case out for a new one.
Expected cost for upgrading and what not: $400 (roughly).
I like how you just have a 'spare' Q6600, 16GB of RAM and 8800 GT lying around.
If I put together a machine made out spares it wouldn't be anywhere near as good as that.
Yeah same here. Only spares around here are old parts salvaged from different Dell machines from 2006 and earlier.

From the parts laying around here I made my athlon x2 rig, which is far from good comparing to that...
It depends how long you have been collecting stuff and how often you upgrade. End of last year i gave me friend a pc for free, he just paid the shipping costs. It wasnt very good: Ashrock mobo, old no name pc case, random crappy psu, e3300, 4gb ddr2, 250gb hdd and 240gt. For him tho its great because now he has a pc of his own and it can play games too. We have been playing killing floor, left 4 dead + 2, dead space 2, borderland 2, worms, dead island and more. He tells me and the games look ok on it, but he does have a low res tv, so this makes life a bit easier on the pc and he is used to console graphics.
Since my recent upgrade, better parts get demoted to other pc's, so all the computers get an upgrade. Except the last pc in the chain, which parts get put on a shelf, until i have enought parts to make another pc. Now i have another pc i don't know what to do with and out here there is basically no demand for old pc parts. So i will sit in the garage loney until i get around to getting rid of it or like others, just sit around for years then get binned.
Believe it or not, i tried to give it away, but they said they didnt need it:
