I am looking to buy Old Desktop PC because I want test my 9 Hard drive IDE that was back in year 2000 and onward....
How old should this PC be? Pentium or earlier?
Well the Last PC I had was E6750 Desktop pc and so for old PC I am looking for is that work with IDE Hard drive :)
Pentium or whatever is as long as it got IDE HD ...so i can test my 9 Hard drive......
I did rather buy off someone who in UK :)
why not get a simple USB->IDE adapter and do the testing? If you get older hardware you might have probs with BIOS hdd-size limitations (unless your drives are small)
What is a 9 Hard Drive? Or do you have 9x hard drives to test?
Complete PC or is a Board with RAM, CPU etc enough?

Oh, I have a complete P4 2,6 GHz with 1 GB RAM. Is this to slow?

is a normal-looking compaq pc and has a normal ATX-style motherboard and should have a 10gb hdd fitted. Like I say is that thread, it needs a graphics card and I don't know if it works.

is an earlier PC with a smaller hdd but it works for sure and it has a pentium 75 mhz. Limited expansion capability but consequently more compact.
Anyhow, PM me if interested. I'm in the york/leeds area so depending on where you are, delivery might even be possible :).
