Salvage or Scrap.. - Page 2

Hi All,

I've got some "old" components that were from the computer I built in 2007/8 that died and after some diagnosis and a few RMA's I gave up on deciding what was wrong and it got put in a box to gather dust until I had more time and effort..

Well now it's pretty old stuff and I have no idea whether it's worth salvaging or not..

I have:

Motherboard: Abit IP35 Pro (RMA replacement)
CPU: Intel E6300 (potentially dead)
RAM: 2Gb Crucial 10yr Anniversary ram (Potentially thrown away by a friend)
Gfx: 512Mb HIS Ati 1950Pro
HDD: Various drives, would buy new anyway
PSU: Corsair 520W Modular

All going into a very nice Lian-Li case that is well worth keeping

I think I have the optical drives I need to get things going.

Could I get a relatively decent computer going with the motherboard and graphics I've got up there? Or would I definitely be buying more than I'm keeping?

And if scrapping, would I be likely to get anything for the motherboard/graphics/Psu/case?

Cheers

Sinc.
