The psu is new as is the ssd in it and the mobo is second hand. The parts have been installed into a beast of a case - its 20 years old & originally had the first computer I ever bought in it - it had Win98 on it when purchased! The case was gutted & everything has been replaced. This one will be my Eumetcast computer when I get around to finishing the cabling off & doing the software install. [B]Verdict[/B] Win10 kept halting mid install. This was finally tracked down to a faulty ram chip, so the wonky one was binned & its curently running 1x4gb ram. As a clean install on a new ssd no problems were encountered during the install. Win10 Home activated from a Win7 Home key off a scrapped machine. [B]Total cost[/B] psu - about £30 delivered ssd - £30 delivered mobo - a few ££ - Ive forgotten how much it was, but it was peanuts case - cast off I had lying around Win7Home COA - nil - it came off a scrapped machine [/QUOTE]
