Default Thank you Gwence

Thank you for going through all of the time to put that together Gwence. I really didn't mean for anyone to go through this much trouble, I was just wondering how far off am I in thinking I could get something like this around $300 or so.

I have a few old computers in a shed. What parts could I salvage from an old computer that would not be severely outdated? Like, for example, do cases or power supplies get outdated, or could I use one that is approximately 15 years old? I guess things like serial ports in the case would be pretty out dated, but I generally am wondering what can be salvaged and what should be replaced.

If I were to choose one or two items to upgrade from what you have chosen, what would be most important? The hard drive?

Lastly, do I need to install drivers for each hardware component I install into a new computer, and if so are these easily downloaded?

Thank you.
