I have a Powerspec E361 computer that is a case only and its basically a Cooler Master Centurion 5 that they slapped their brand logo on the front of the case. Do you think I should go period correct (2004 - 2005 build) when the case came out? Or do you think I should stick with parts what this case was sold as? (It has a core 2 quad sticker on the front and a Windows Vista CD Key on the top)My intention with this case is to make it a single core high-end AMD build with parts mostly from 2004 - 2005.
>>109035351might as well use the same parts it came with. it's more aesthetic to do a custom configuration when the case is unbranded
>>109035351pinmod the cpu to overclock itrun some benchmarks and gamesleave it gathering dust
>>109035364Part of me was thinking to leave it how Powerspec intended it to be. But I really question their choices back then. Why put a Core 2 Quad in a case that has only 2 small fans? 120mm on the back and a 80mm on the front. I remember back in like 2007, I had a case that cooled better than this case and all I had was notoriously hated pentium dual-core cpu back then lol. >>109035368This is a case only. I do have a Q6600 cpu laying around.
>>109035351Retro my balls.
>>109035487Explain your doubt.
>>109035351It really depends how many games you want to be playable on it since there's always a bit of an overlap when it comes to hardware generation.
>>109035351look up q9400 on ebay and find yourself a motherboard + cpu combo with ddr3any 2004-2005 build will suck balls by comparison, fx-53 single core or 3800 dual core, both of which are now coveted by gen x and are retardedly expensive
>>109035516Does this help?
>>109036283>>109037485i current have a Asus Maximus Formula + QX9650 + Radeon HD 5970 + 8gb ddr2 build.
>>109039087Pee is stored in the balls?
If it also helps, I'm trying to do a native early XP build with hardware pre-dual core and pre-quad core era.
