I have a Nvidia Gefore4 Ti4200 that I used on my P3 733Mhz, then it made home to a AMD Althon 1300+ for a year or so. I then stick it into my old AMD Sempron 3100+. AFAIK it still works. If I find it (pretty sure I know where it is) you are more then welcome to take it off my hands.

That's pretty nice of you man. If you don't mind I'll wait a couple of days before confirming because I posted this on another site too. I want to see if anything else comes of it before I waste your time. But I can't see many people being as nice as that. Thanks allot man Smile

This is why I try to grab any computer I can find that people are throwing away. So many times in a pinch I've though oh hey I wonder if that old computer I grabbed has a video card or a this or that which might work! You can never have too many parts. When I accidentally forgot to plugin the HSF on my video card in my server and burned my nice Ti4400, : ( I had a crappy PCI GeForce2 from an old dell that fit the bill just perfectly.

I'm actually in a similar boat as your brother in law though. I need a laptop. I do so much moving around of code and projects now that I really need a laptop. Not a nice one just one that can open ultra-edit, write some code and compile. A lady on Craigslist was giving away a free laptop that was pretty recent but had no HD. I emailed them but it was gone already. : ( I could have gotten a cheap laptop HD easy... I was pretty upset I missed that deal. If anyone happens to have any leads on a really cheap laptop I'm all ears...

It's been a pretty fun experiance so far.. I've kept old PC's to use for other things before, but not really ever cobbled something together from odds and sods. It's pretty satisfying. I really do encourage others to do the same, it's been different to say the least.. I normally buy really expensive components and put together beast machines, so doing it this way has been an eye-opener for me.
