fallenconcept Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Okay so i had an old dell laying around in the basement laying open and its been through hell i decided to put it back together. I put it back together and hooked it up. I go back downstairs and come back up and there is smoke coming out the fan with nothing on. Well long story short i think the fan was gone along with some other issues like a short in the wires for the powersupply and heatsink fan. Now the wires are melted and it is sitting outside in the cold cause it smells haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallenconcept Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 its to old to even trouble myself with it. It had a Pentium 3 processer in it and was designed for windows 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bond Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Just because it's a P3 doesn't mean it's good for nothing! I had an old P1 laptop lying around, and I needed someway to play on Xlink Kai (free equivelant of XBL, with modding as well!) since my PC was nowhere near my Xbox. So I just loaded it up with some Damn Small Linux, plopped on the Kai engine, and went on to have some carefree, gaming bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
