Its a bitsa...some parts are older than others but most of it about 4 years old most of it...the MB and PSU would be older though...the GPU is about 2 - 3 years old

QUOTE (Naki @ Jul 6 2012,4:22 PM)  Nothing happened - deathly silence ..when trying to switch it on...sent the PC to Brother in Law who more techy than I am...apparently its now going - maybe only a lose wire (touch wood)...just heard today that oldest son needs braces (as in teeth) so new PC is about 10 years away now! Hey there, Just thought I could add a little useful knowledge into the mix here. I'm a techie by trade so a good way to test your power supply is to use a voltmeter to test that you always have 5 volts through the standby wire on the main 20 or 24 pin power plug on your motherboard, usually this wire is purple. If not then you can be sure that the PSU has had it's days. If you're not too savvy with this at least you could pop over to a computer store and they could test it for you.
