I ordered a new laptop but I felt like it would be a waste to just toss the old components. I found that I could get an ITX motherboard that could use the old laptop's processor and memory. So I'm going to end up cobbling together a new desktop out of some salvaged parts, a motherboard I got off of eBay, and a new case to house it all. These are the specs:
2nd Gen i7 processor
8 gb ddr3 ram
1 tb hard drive
ATI Radeon 6870 Graphics card
So, a decent little build, but I don't really have a use for another computer. Any ideas?

Must be something going around. Fan on my laptop made some noise and locked up last week. After watching a how to on youtube I decided it was not worth the trouble. Got a refurbed Dell off ebay. 240 gig SSD, I7 processor , 8 gigs of RAM amd Windows 7. I almost never use Windows and did not want to deal with Windows 10 so my choices were limited.
