New life: eMachine

When I worked at the local repair shop here in town, we had a elderly couple bring in their old desktop, finally ready for an upgrade. It was the pictured eMachines T1115, in better condition than the majority of computers we got in. Original stickers still in place, unfaded, even the QA sticker was in tact and never broken. They brought it in vanilla, still running, albeit slow, on the hot 128MB of RAM. They asked us to dispose of it, I couldn't bring myself to recycle the chassis so I held on to it. I happened along some of the parts from my first gaming PC, and decided to try rebuild it inside the tower.







Managed to separate the sticker as one piece, though the VOID was unavoidable.







Waiting on a power supply from the Egg to power it up!

Needs an IDE HDD and CD drive!

Haha, it does have an CD IDE drive, since it's built into the front panel it seems proprietary. I'll probably just leave it unhooked and go USB with it. It's also got a function floppy drive.

NICE!

Excited to see what you make of it

Thanks! Probably nothing too flashy right now, though all the fans in it are LED.

Hoping to put that kind of money into the Elite 120!
