Building a new PC

Yavvy

Hi All Im considering building my own computer.

Can anyone help with choosing the products I need.

My Old Enclosure is AT format, I presume I will have to buy ATX ?
Is there anywhere to buy an encosure with the Motherboard intergrated and possibly the Processor too ?

I have the Hard drives ( IDE 7GB and 20GB)
I have the Floppy, CDRW and Memory
I have PCI sound and graphics
and I have the Monitor and Keyboard,

Is there anything im forgetting ?

Unless you buy 2nd hand kit most of the stuff you have will be out of date.

Any new PC gear you can buy now will have different, memory, power, etc requirements. Your old HDDs will be slow but they'll still work as will the floppy, CDR, & expansion cards (PCI graphics will be really pokey).

You could look for a cheap package deal or I've seen those boxes that look like a stereo component but actually have a PC inside which look pretty funky - they usually dont have much room for expansion though..

Really depends what your budget is...

I would go for an AMD over the Celeron.
