Cool Re: 1995 quntex upgraded but has lots of problems

Well I just pulled the puter out of it's safe nest,,,and unpluged it,,,put it on the kitchen table,,took off the cover,,and it was full,,well it had lots of dust bunnies,run'in around it it.
So I vacuumed it out,,and now maybe she will run cooler,,,,,heck Im just glad she's still runn'in at all....

While I was lookin around in the inside of her body,,,I could see all the boards,,,some of them I put in myself...like the 56K modem,,,,back then it was good....

Do YOU think I could buy all the hardware to build a great system from advice from this site.....?????....I mean when I get to santa cruz,,,find an apt. and get my stuff out of storeage,,,,many my tools,,,for my sled,,once I get my cycle up on my lift,,and pull it all apart,,and do alot of tender loveing care mantainence,,,plus a new exhaust sys.,,,and maybe a new carb,,,,get her back on the road,,,ready for my second trip to sturgis,,,then once I get back from sturgis,,,,I'll be ready to try and build a monster puter,,,,my then I'll have some people in my cornner from the area who knows computers,,,and can help me put it togeather.....someday...

Default Re: 1995 quntex upgraded but has lots of problems

Sure, we could help you with that-- we have in fact, already advised people on hardware builds...
There are many ways to go--
you can buy all the components and build from scratch

you can buy a Motherboard with CPU and RAM already installed/tested
add the rest

you can buy a "Kit" or "Barebones" PC-- add your own Keyboard/mouse monitor-- perhaps upgrade the Video/sound...

Lots of options.

PS-- be careful when using a Vacuum in a PC Case--best way to do this (once you get your NEW PC)-- is to use a can of compressed air (no compressors--too much power/moisture)-- blow the dust bunnies out, and THEN vacuum them up.
Some of the components inside a PC are susceptible to "electrostatic-discharge" damage-- like your RAM/CPU/Harddrive-- it is very rare-- but if it does happen it can be catastrophic.
