jhoak Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I ran this guy as a media center in my bedroom for a couple of years. When I got my Roku early last year this PC got put in the guest room for occasional email and web browsing. I have hooked it back up and ran it for 3 or 4 days to make sure that everything worked as it should. It works just fine. No issues whatsoever. What we have here is (1) an Intel D865PERL motherboard, (2) an Intel P4 3.4GHz CPU (800 MHz FSB/1MB L2), (3) 1 GB of DDR memory (the board will take up to 4 GB), (4) an ATI 9550 video card, (5) a MASSCOOL fan, and (6) a Microsoft MC remote control. Also included is the quick reference guide and case sticker for the MOBO, the Intel and ATI driver CDs. If you want them I have 3 more sticks of DDR RAM (a 512Mb and 2 256Mb) that I can throw in the box at no extra cost. The video card is fanless to reduce machine noise. The MASSCOOL fan is a lot quieter than the original Intel OEM fan but not completely silent. When I was using it I had it sitting beside my dresser about 14' from me and I couldn't hear it running. What I really liked about this MOBO is that it has SPDIF optical and coaxial outputs that made it easy to hook up to my 5.1 receiver. Of course it also has a full set of analog 5.1 audio outs. Asking price is $40 for everything delivered to a CONUS address. No additional charge for PayPal. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Trying to figure out if this would be an upgrade from my P5LD2 motherboard and Intel Core 2 E8400 chip... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brac Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I think I was wrong thinking a 4 was better than a 2, who makes up these numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 What else would be needed to complete the HTPC, I spent about a week reading on these things on the avsforum. I was going to build server, to feed 2 of these. How big of a enclosure would one need for it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
