So I'm thinking of cannibalizing my Dell XPS M1210 to make a desktop. I have/can get all the parts that I need except for the PSU and mobo. I need one with:
Socket M (Or a Socket 479 that can handle a 667MHz core 2 Duo)
2x DDR2 SO-DIMM (I can deal with buying regular RAM if need be...)
2x SATA ports
Compatible with an ATX PSU
PCIe x16 (or at least a PCI-e big enough to not bottleneck an HD 3450)
Need to use either a PCI wireless card from this desktop, or the mini PCIe one from my laptop
Don't care about form factor
I know this is a pretty tall order...honestly I'm not holding out much hope, but it'd be a great way to put my dead laptop to use and get me off of this old Optiplex. Northwood Celeron FTL.
edit: Also, I'm thinking of overclocking it. I figure a 34W processor with a 100C TDP should have some potential. Thoughts on that?
