Ye but those probably don't have a 8X AGP slot
alright, you guys got me.. it's a completely useless computer. less than $100.. could probably still be used by someone really power, or possibly as an HTPC.
It can be used as a router, however you can get Dell Optiplex P4s by the pallet - the whole PC - for less than the cost of a power supply.
like $40? i've seen a shitload of those dell optiplexes.. my uncle even still uses one of those.

that computer is probably worth i'd say maybe.. $130-$150? i hope you didn't pay too much for it.
That computer is good for one thing, about 1/10 gram of tantalum and 1/1000th ton of scrap steel. Recycling places here that fix up computers give out socket 775 Pentium 4s + only.

You must be joking, that thing costs at most $50.

The power supply was removed to prevent the observation that nothing in the box is a working part.
"It's probably a simple fix" = I fixed several computers and here's all the leftover broken stuff.

why don't you just turn it on and find out for yourself? it's an AMD CPU that you have. how can anyone tell by just looking at it and not finding out what the model numbers are (besides the couldn'tmobo).
Well thank you Mr. Beetcoin for your valuable input. Having no power supply is currently the obstacle preventing me from turning it on. I have already googled all the numbers and other markings I could find on it, the motherboard is an A7N8X, the gpu is a hd3850... i was just hoping somebody might recognize the case or have some prior knowledge about this computer. Additionally I was hoping somebody would have a power supply that fits it and would be willing to part with it for some tiny sum in btc.
video card is old, mobo is old.. but not too old. you can buy a 400W psu for something like $20 after rebate.
It has a lot of drive bays at least.
well at least it has a nice outfit 
Its a no name brand
Probably built by somebody, its a really old system, the Board is a ASUS board that will take an old athlon 1000 cpu up to a sempron 3000,
Here is some info on the board (http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1341)
Oh and it will work with a simple 250w ATX PSU which you could prob get for like $20
And theres the screen card (http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-359.shtml)

The only marking on the case is S/N 248063 ... nowhere does it identify a manufacturer

hey there folks,
Just bought this computer as-is in unknown condition without looking it up first. What can you tell me about it? Anybody have a power supply for it that they would sell to me for btc?
