[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 859158, member: 32547"] I was surprised by the board. I paid $30 incl postage for the Biostar TP45E Combo board, a Q8400 processor, and 4 GB DDR 2. That processor I put away for now, but the Biostar board looks almost new. Happily I got the box and instructions. Had to order to China for the backplate, and it arrived so all good there. Gonna try an SSD on the computer as soon as I get the money for one. Now that I have sata 3 speeds from the PCI-e Sata 3 card maybe I will see some good returns. The Sata 3 disk drive does OK at about 100 mb/sec. I think all of these parts are at least 12 years old except the PCI-e parts (including graphics card). System even has a floppy disk and of all things an IDE DVD drive...yes DVD not CD... Thanks for taking a look. It would be great for a home file server or general purpose basement computer. Good performance... [/QUOTE]
