Neil,
We have a spare tower here at work that I was thinking of upgrading, for use at home. My wife is due to have our first baby at the end of December and I will have need to work from home, at least for a little while. I was wondering what your thoughts and suggests where for updating an old tower. This is a break down of some of the comments in the tower.
Processor: Intel Pentium II @ 233 MHz C1
Hard Drive: 20 GB
Memory: 128 MB
Video Card: S3 ViRGE Ver. 5.1024
Disc Drives: Basic CDrom & Iomega 250 Zip.
I was wondering if you had any suggestions a new mother board and video card? Can I re-use the existing power supply? Any suggestions on new monitor, flat screen, to maximize desk space?
I am trying to do this as cost effective as possible. Thanks for the help.
