NB, I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MACS
Hi there! I need a new computer, preferably a mac. But funds are tight and I would like to recycle some items a friend has given me from his tragically destroyed mac pro.
The components are:
Basically anything we could easily pull out.
Could I fit these into an old Powermac? To buy a MacPro without these would cost as much as making one with them. I am looking to get a cheaper deal on ebay (UK).
If anyone has any ideas, or any knowledege of what i can do with them please share your thoughts, its would be a shame for the components to gather dust like they are now.
thanks
