Power supply?

Power supply?

Obviously every computer has one.

Anyway, I'll go see if I can find a camera.

1. Will this support a great/modern graphics card?

-Yes. You've got yourself a nice deal. Its even better because if required, you can overclock it with no harm at all.

2. How do I connect my moniter? It does not have a normal moniter input that I can recognize, perhaps you can look at the product spefications and help.

-This is a tricky one. Uhm... click here?
You probably need a newer / more modern video card.


3. How do I bypass the power button needing to be pushed, obviously I don't feel like ripping out a power putting moduel from my old PC, and I doubt it would even connect/fit.

Get a flat screwdriver and short the pins where you would connect the power button header.

That's your best bet.

-It should fit, but it'd be a tight one. There isn't much you can do about this one, you would have to get the module from your old PC, sorry.
Can you tell me the specs for your old comp?

-edit-
By the way, find that camera, pics would make this 10x easier.

By biggest problem now is that I think I broke it when I tried to short the power button input.
I got it to start fine like three times, but I was 'expirementing' to see if I could shut it down without unplugging.
I got a little spark, and now I can't get it to start up like I used to.

EDIT: All the pictures I took were stuff due to my camera.
I'll try to draw it instead.

Hmm.. What exact "experimenting" did you do?

Putting a screw driver inbetween input nodes to try to get it to short to get it to do things.

[DrenDran]

I made a stuffty drawing which is obviously missing a lot of parts and detail.
But I'll probably add more to it later.

At the very least, can someone help me find out what I broke.
Weather I broke both motherboards, or just the power supply.

Connecting the power button to a motherboard requires connecting these tedious pins onto one of the corners of the motherboard. They are called jumper settings.

You most likely know what they are so I'll just say you need a paper clip that is bent into a 'U' shape you then connect the two little pins together by the paperclip and power should be on. You'll need to know which pins are which.

I have no clue as to what the jumpers settings are on your motherboard.

Do some research on the paper clip technique I am 90% sure I'm wrong.

[DrenDran]

No no, now you see, my problem is I think I broke something trying to do that.

Well, if you have the time and money, take it to a computer store. I'm sure they can help.
