[GLLUG] dell computer

[Julie Code]

Hi guys,
        Today when I went to take the trash out, there was a computer 
sitting in the dumpster.  A dell Demension desktop P4 4500.  I just plugged 
it in and the fans are moving and it beeps when i turn it on and says 
processor fan not detected.  I think it may say something about a mboard too 
but not sure.  I was wondering if anyone had a working motherboard that 
they'd be willing to sell me that i could put into this machine.  I know the 
LCD monitor works that they threw away because I just plugged it into my 
other computer.  I talked to Caleb on the IM and that is what he thinks is 
wrong with it.  I wonder if it was someone who didnt know a whole lot about 
computers and got mad and just threw it in the dumpster when it mayt be an 
easy fix?? Well, thanks for any of your input you may have.
