Nice case, I reckon if I were to replace the Primo I would pick one of those up (also in red).

Also... aww yis. I didn't kill it. Some pictures of process below:
Suspect that the IHS isn't completely level. TIM doesn't spread evenly and the waterblock only touches around 1/2 the IHS properly. Nawt guud.
Lid popped & suspicions confirmed. You only need to look at the silicone to see evidence of problem, squashed on one side and very much not squashed on the other.
All clean.
CLU (100% metal, and 100% conductive. Don't let this stuff near aaanything other than the die haha) applied with brush (didn't get pics of process, sorry) with thin layer on die and IHS, Permatex black silicone adhesive spread around edge of IHS in thin bead to replace original, placed back in socket, secured.
FINGERS CROSSED. ARMS CROSSED. TOES. CROSSED.
IT POSTS. YES. Not dead. Yeee. Also chucked in a 500GB 850 EVO M.2 while I was at it, the 250 was getting too full.
IHS is level again, temps are..... good. To put it mildly. Now to see what this thing can really do.... when I get time.
The maximum temps here are under an AIDA64 load test with 4.5GHz OC and measly VCORE of 1.30V, and it'll run 4.7 stable with the same VCORE too. (Dropped it back last week because I thought it was crashing BF3, turns out it was just the Windows 10 Xbox app and Game Bar. Surprise surprise.)
I figure a better approach would be a retro build, as my Dimension 4400 was fairly low-end anyway. (1.6Ghz Willamette). Then I can make use of my AGP ATI All-In-Wonder 9000 again, which for some reason is an end-goal.
Done!
PSU: taken from the failed Dell system.
Case: some rosewill cheapo case.
Motherboard: Gigabyte-8SIML.
CPU: 1.8Ghz Pentium 4 Northwood (Not sure about Northwood- doubt it's Prescott, haven't run CPU-Z yet). Came with the motherboard, and it's better than the 1.6Ghz Willamette I already had and was already installed, so eh
RAM: One stick of 512MB DDR
Graphics: ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 9000
HDD: 80GB WD Caviar SE. I have a bunch of these models in several sizes but the 80GB has seen the least mileage and as a result I trust it a bit more.
Optical: threw in one of my three EIDE DVD-RW DL Burner drives.
The Memory came from the failed system I mentioned previously, which had 1GB; I removed one stick while troubleshooting and I've yet to find it again. I slapped in a Floppy Disk Drive as well. Right now the Optical drive is using a 40-conductor ribbon cable as I couldn't find any 80-conductors, though I did stumble upon both a 80-conductor cable and a few USB 2.0 PCI cards while I was searching through my closets for the RAM.
The PSU ought to be replaced with a reasonable ATX power supply. The Dell Power supply seems to do the job but it's still a PSU from a prefab, ick.
I plan to get some era-appropriate upgrades:
Audio card. The on-board audio isn't that great. I think it's just standard AC '97. It's not very good whatever it is. (I'm leaning towards a Live!, Audigy, or Audigy 2). I have a Creative Audio PCI (ES1371) Card from 1998 though I'm not even sure if it would be better than the on-board.
Wireless card. Technically I've got a Trendnet Wireless PCI card installed but it's flakey. a cheap PCI G card should do the job for the system.
Some way of connecting the front-panel USB. The motherboard Front Panel connector is either USB 1.1 like the rear ports or has a different header from the USB2 front panel standard for some other reason. None of the USB 2.0 PCI cards I can find have a way to plug in a USB 2.0 header that I've seen.
What is the purpose of this system? Primarily for older games. I've had no issues running some older NFS games (3, High Stakes, Porsche Unleashed, Hot Pursuit 2). I'm quite impressed with the All-In-Wonder's performance, to be honest. I've got it running Windows XP, of course, as anything later would likely struggle with 1GB, let alone 512MB of Memory.
I just got a newused laptop. It's a Dell Inspiron 15R n7110. While I bought this one to outrun my old Thinkpad T500, I still prefer the quality and size of the Thinkpad. In case you were wondering, here are the specs:
i7-2670QM
GT 525m
8GB of RAM
It used to have a 500GB Toshiba drive in it, but instead I decided to put my old Crucial M500 SSD inside (I would've put my Samsung drive in, however this laptop only has SATA 2 and I still plan to use the Thinkpad, which has the Samsung drive inside)
Also, I think the speakers are a fair bit nicer than the ones on the Thinkpad.

Your system is not old because your specifications of the PC is latest.
While I'm here, I suppose I'll post the specs of my HP G60 (which I received for free):
Core 2 Duo T6600
4GB of DDR2 (this was produced in 2009, a tad late for DDR2)
500GB WD Blue drive
and the good old fashioned terrible integrated graphics of the time.
Your system is not old because your specifications of the PC is latest.
Well close enough, I may not have32-64GB DDR4 RAM, 32 PCI lane CPU, Or a M.2 SSD at 2,500MB/1,500MB R/W Speeds.
I do have at least a somewhat new PC.(past 2 years). But I'm tight money for now. And I really want that GTX 1080.. I'm so
selfish.. lol
The M.2 SSD I was talking about is theSamsung 950 Pro M.2. ($179-317)
Honestly I think older hardware gets a bit of a bad rap. I still wish I didn't throw out my first computer, a 286 which I was given in 2003. When I was 16.
I'll let the younger members grapple with how anybody could have possibly not grown up using a PC from the age of 3 or whatever. Get off my lawn and such.
Corsair seemed to have upped their game on their budget PSU's. The Modular series got an overhaul and are now made really well. Got myself a CX750M.
Also picked myself up a new motherboard and unfortunately it was DOA so Amazon refunded me. Ended up getting an MSI H97 Gaming 3 (Killer Network is abysmal, has a memory leak) Thank god I also picked up a set of 16GB HyperX Fury RAM.
New build looks amazing. Red LED's on the motherboard and the Red Heatspeader on the RAM makes the inside look amazing.
On another note.
I managed to restore an old Sony Vaio from 2007. Has a Centrino Duo core in it haha!
HDD on it died. So I ripped it out and put an old spare 500GB Seagate HDD I had sitting in my tech drawer. Works like a dream. Unfortunately didn't have a spare copy of Windows around so it's currently running xubuntu

Are the lower wattage units still mediocre? I remember the CX430-CX600 getting a lot of hate. My 2nd Gen CX430 was rubbish though, 1st unit was DOA and 2nd unit had random booting issues.

Don't think so. The new ones got a new look to them. For example:
The ones with green are still rubbish iirc

I have a CX430M powering my Athlon 5350+R7 240 system and it hasn't given me any issues. Anecdotal, of course.
I have one of the older green sticker CX750M models powering my NAS and have had no issues with it. That said, it never sees more than like 25% utilization of the 750W haha, and that's over estimating the usage.
Bitfenix Prodigy nawt big enough though. Recommendations for an ITX case with support for lots of 3.5" bays and a long graphics card..?

Corsair seemed to have upped their game on their budget PSU's. The Modular series got an overhaul and are now made really well. Got myself a CX750M.
Also picked myself up a new motherboard and unfortunately it was DOA so Amazon refunded me. Ended up getting an MSI H97 Gaming 3 (Killer Network is abysmal, has a memory leak) Thank god I also picked up a set of 16GB HyperX Fury RAM.
New build looks amazing. Red LED's on the motherboard and the Red Heatspeader on the RAM makes the inside look amazing.
On another note.
I managed to restore an old Sony Vaio from 2007. Has a Centrino Duo core in it haha!
HDD on it died. So I ripped it out and put an old spare 500GB Seagate HDD I had sitting in my tech drawer. Works like a dream. Unfortunately didn't have a spare copy of Windows around so it's currently running xubuntu
Are the lower wattage units still mediocre? I remember the CX430-CX600 getting a lot of hate. My 2nd Gen CX430 was rubbish though, 1st unit was DOA and 2nd unit had random booting issues.

Don't think so. The new ones got a new look to them. For example:
The ones with green are still rubbish iirc
I have a CX430M powering my Athlon 5350+R7 240 system and it hasn't given me any issues. Anecdotal, of course.
I have one of the older green sticker CX750M models powering my NAS and have had no issues with it. That said, it never sees more than like 25% utilization of the 750W haha, and that's over estimating the usage.
Bitfenix Prodigy nawt big enough though. Recommendations for an ITX case with support for lots of 3.5" bays and a long graphics card..?

Ah I see. But your CPU is the same of my laptop Sony VGN-NW270F.
