-11GB DDR3
-250 GB Seagate HDD 3.5in
-320 GB Hitachi HDD 2.5in (boot)
-Cougar MX331 Mesh Case (Dents / damage)

Motherboard does NOT support UEFI/Secure Boot! You will have a hard time getting Windows 11 installed and functioning properly.
Sometimes "system fan error" will occur on startup, yet the system fan is running
If exactly 11GB of ram seems weird, it is. I've tried 12GB and 16GB but this motherboard is picky about the ram, and sometimes it will detect 2GB, 4GB, 2GB, 4GB. but then say it has only 8GB total system memory, this is because of chip density, aka putting sticks with High-Density chips (like a 4GB with 1 row of chips on both sides or 2 rows of chips on only one side) might not work only systems of this era (1st gen intel core i)
