I'm considering doing a major overhaul of my pre-built computer.
The overhaul would consist of me using the same motherboard and DVD drive.
I would be swapping out 160GB OS drive for a 320GB with windows XP.
I would also have to add PCI card to support 4 more SATA ports.
I would be using a 500GB for music and a 750GB for movies , that I already own..
I would also have to get a new case.
Basic Spects are:
1.6 Ghz dual core intel atom 230
2 GB DDR2
does any one think it this is is worth overhauling or not.

More in depth specs are at this link:http://www.emachines.com/products/products.html?prod=EL1600-01

You'd be better off building a new computer instead.


I getting a case with a power supply because my current power supply would not work in most cases. and i have a free PCI slot by removing the modem.

I was dinking around on the internet today and found a interesting article. http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118019212?refCatId=14
It says that Haim Saban bought back Power Rangers from Disney.

I was just wondering two things?
1. I was wondering if anyone watched Power Rangers as a kid or as in my case still do.
2. What do you think this means for the franchise as a whole.

Posted on 01-18-11 08:12:07 PM, in Star Wars Blu-rays confirmed for 2011 (last edited by PYRATROOPER at 01-19-11 10:27 PM) Link
All six films of the Star Wars series were shot in an aspect ratio of 2.40:1. The original trilogy was shot with anamorphic lenses. Episodes IV and V were shot in Panavision, while Episode VI was shot in Joe Dunton Camera (JDC) scope. Episode I was shot with Hawk anamorphic lenses on Arriflex cameras, and Episodes II and III were shot with Sony's CineAlta high-definition digital cameras.

So in English, episodes II and III were recorded and broadcast in HD.
Episodes IV, V, VI and I were recorded 35 mm film which makes them very easy to covert to HD.

For ten dollars more, you could get a motherboard with that many SATA ports.

You really should consider building a new computer.


Don't have the money for even a OEM OS, which is $100

I'm just curious who is planning on buying the 3DS when it comes out.

The only thing that looks exciting is Starfox 64 3DS, Ocarina of time 3DS, the Virtual Console for gameboy and Gameboy color games which hopefully will include Pokemon yellow and the new features for Pokemon games.

EDIT: great i screwed up the title can someone fix that please.

Your situation is unusual, but you seem to know what you're doing. Carry on.

Other people: His machine is weird and, like most eMachines, doesn't work like other computers would. He cannot update the motherboard without buying a new OS due to how eMachines pre-done OSes work; he is buying SATA card because he already has all these hard drives just laying around. Now he could upgrade to a new computer, but... as he just said, that'd cost even more.


Well put,
I'm surprised they have not keyed the HDD yet.

Well, that, and they want you to keep using their motherboard, but hard drives sort of come and go. We replaced the HDD in the old 366i2 for similar reasons to what you did, for example.


Ya i just want to double my internal 0S drive from 160GB to 320GB and adding the 2 other drive because i hate having 20GB of music and about 10GB of computer programs on here.
Anyway, what are the specs on your ancient eMachine 366i2.

I also forgot to mention going to format my 160GB OS for pictures.
So its going to be like this:
320GB for OS $39.99
750GB for videos (own)
500GB for music (own)
160GB for pictures (own)
DVD RAM (own)
PCI sata card $29.99

Now on to choose a case and the adapters.

Even 320GB for the system partition seems overkill (unless you're going to install a lot of games or large programs), but 750GB for videos makes more sense


500GB for music, music videos and concerts

Further evidence of MySpace imploding into nothing!

Facebook is an independent company! Therefore, if MySpace is spun out and becomes independent, they'll be just like Facebook and everyone will start using it again! It's only logical.




Good all we will all need is investors, to buy it and fix it up into the next Facebook.
