A new one will be much more efficient (considering how old your equipment seems to be) and will pay for itself over its lifetime through energy consumption saved. Besides, your current PSU may lack the appropriate connectors for a modern mobo and CPU.
Mobos with PCI ports still exist but I know of none which provide IDE. You can still get IDE via a PCI (or pci-e) card. Honestly, I'd ditch the IDE drives, too, for performance, reliability, and compatibility reasons. If you stick to your legacy hardware, you'll limit your options a lot (e.g., lack of available hardware, lack of drivers for modern OSes). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ poing's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63617 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103062 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
