Hoping to get some help on a Big Buck Hunter Pro. I recently picked up a gutted game and I'm wondering what all I'm missing. I know I need a CPU, but I believe there might also be a PCB (?). Some examples seem to have a second board with two fuses on it while others don't. I've attached a picture of what I do have, which I believe to be the I/O board and power supply. I do also have a security dongle and installation CDs. Do I need a PCB, or what ever that second board is called? What specific CPU do should I order? I know there are two kinds and people seem to like the Dell better, but I've also been told that without that PCB you need to go with the other inferior/more expensive CPU. Is there any truth to that? If so, can I just order the PCB and the Dell? Just trying to figure things out before I start ordering. Any help or pictures would be appreciated.

Did you ever get a reply on this?

Good luck finding a board for this, but I would really encourage you to get a used Dell.
You need the computer, I/O board, dongle, software load disc and the interface cables.
I would suggest using a 80+GB SSD instead of whatever hard drive comes with the Dell.
It is the Dell Optiplex 740 you want, preferable the desktop model although the tower model will work. I haven't heard if other Dell models will work, I would love to know. The only thing you will have to rig up is the power from the Dell computer to the IO board.
 
Parts needed are the pc, the video pcb, the dongle, and the install disc. I seem to remember the external video pcb being a security feature of sorts.
