How old?

1441892 2017-11-14 04:02:00 Sorry, I never checked but I have an ex gaming machine missing the PSU and maybe the RAM and hard drive, has all the case fans installed. I replaced it last year, it maybe 6 years old but was struggling with newer games at that time and obviously outdated.

Hopefully this time I'll be able to get a list together, just been quite busy.

1441894 2017-11-14 12:50:00 Ok here's the ex gaming machine: No PSU or case fans (might be able to locate some to put in)

Motherboard: ASUS P6T (released in 2009). Made for gaming.
CPU: LGA 1366 Socket, so might be an i7 9xx series CPU, has CPU fan.
RAM: Appears to have 8GB DDR3, 2x 2GB 1x4GB and still 3 empty DIMM slots.
In the PCI Express slot we have a GeForce GTX275, there's no onboard graphics on this motherboard.

Recommend getting at least a 800W PSU, 550W just won't cut it. The graphics card takes up half that alone.

Not sure what other specs you'd want to know, case is pretty standard although I'm thinking of putting it in this newer case than what it's in now, I have no need for this brand new case. and it maybe have better air flow.
Onboard gigabit LAN
6x SATA ports
1x E-IDE port (I could put an old drive in here, got plenty of them doing nothing)

This will play Minecraft easily. It really only was showing it's age last year with newer games although I'm positive I had the RAM all maxed out (6x4GB)

If I can locate a PSU, I'd definitely fire it up. I can throw in a CD/DVD? writer as well.

I know this PC will be easy for me to get rid of, I have some more dated computers, maybe suitable for media centres
