Help me identify this computer I just bought

[HenryRomp]

hey there folks,
Just bought this computer as-is in unknown condition without looking it up first. What can you tell me about it? Anybody have a power supply for it that they would sell to me for btc?

[beetcoin]

why don't you just turn it on and find out for yourself? it's an AMD CPU that you have. how can anyone tell by just looking at it and not finding out what the model numbers are (besides the mobo).

Well thank you Mr.  Beetcoin for your valuable input.  Having no power supply is currently the obstacle preventing me from turning it on.  I have already googled all the numbers and other markings I could find on it, the motherboard is an A7N8X, the gpu is a hd3850... i was just hoping somebody might recognize the case or have some prior knowledge about this computer. Additionally I was hoping somebody would have a power supply that fits it and would be willing to part with it for some tiny  sum in btc.

[HenryRomp]

The only marking on the case is S/N 248063 ... nowhere does it identify a manufacturer

Its a no name brand

Probably built by somebody, its a really old system, the Board is a ASUS board that will take an old athlon 1000 cpu up to a sempron 3000,

Here is some info on the board  (http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1341)

Oh and it will work with a simple 250w ATX PSU which you could prob get for like $20

And theres the screen card (http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-359.shtml)

video card is old, mobo is old.. but not too old. you can buy a 400W psu for something like $20 after rebate.

The power supply was removed to prevent the observation that nothing in the box is a working part.

"It's probably a simple fix" = I fixed several computers and here's all the leftover broken stuff.

that computer is probably worth i'd say maybe.. $130-$150? i hope you didn't pay too much for it.

You must be joking, that thing costs at most $50.

That computer is good for one thing, about 1/10 gram of tantalum and 1/1000th ton of scrap steel. Recycling places here that fix up computers give out socket 775 Pentium 4s + only.

1. Socket Type
    Intel 775 - Retain in Pre-test Storage.
    AMD AM2/AM2+/AM3, Phenom - Retain in Pre-test Storage.
    Intel other than 775 (including 478) - Automatic Recycle.
    AMD other than AM2/AM2+/AM3 (e.g., 939, 754, socket 5, socket 6, etc.) - Automatic Recycle.
    Non-Intel or AMD (e.g., Cryix, VIA, etc.) - Automatic Recycle.
    Non-desktop system processors (e.g., laptops, servers [Intel Xeon, AMD 940, etc.], etc.) - Automatic Recycle.

        Intel socket 775 -
        Core 2 Duo - Retain for Testing.

alright, you guys got me.. it's a completely useless computer. less than $100.. could probably still be used by someone really power, or possibly as an HTPC.

It can be used as a router, however you can get Dell Optiplex P4s by the pallet - the whole PC - for less than the cost of a power supply.
