So i have this really old tower that is just like one you can buy to make your own pc. the only problem i have currently is this thing was made and set up for windows xp. so its fairly old. i want to build a gaming rig using the tower and scrapping some of the old components since i know they wont run windows 10 or even linux. just wanted to get a feel out there to see if this was at all possible.
Thanks for the reply's

Seeming though the components can't run Windows 10, best of scrapping the lot.

You can pick up a cheap case anyway.

No point keeping the motherboard as it more than likely will be a really old socket, RAM is probs DDR2, CPU is probably powered on by a hamster on a wheel.

As 13 said, request a build supplying sufficient enough info.

Hey don't doubt the little hamster, he's trying his best, and getting a great workout while he's at it lol
