Please help me! (With this computer stuff! this is the "teen build guide" dude!)
SORRY I ACCIDENTALLY POSTED IT TWICE!
Okay, so I got this monitor and "pizza-box" computer for free just about an hour ago from this really nice stranger. (I met him on FreeCycle) He forgot to give me the power cord for the two, but I need your opinion: does this look good?
Will it work with an ATX motherboard? (pizza-box?)
If you need any more information, please let me know! Any response would be awesome!
And, I'm having problems trying to figure out how to open it up. It has a Windows 98 sticker on the system... yikes! It's old, so I know the parts aren't use-able if I want a fast computer. I'm still going to use my new parts.
