    it is indeed 6-7 years old. it does have Windows XP/SP2
    1.should i keep the same case?
    2. how cheap would you say
    3. where would one get parts for a 7 year old Dell Dimension 4100 (yes...still white color)


    i talked to my dad. he said he might take me to a pawn shop. do you think they will have something a little more current PC than my current setup?

    if you use your old HDD and PC enclosure hoping your PSU can take it :)



    No need for old HDD(or keep for extra space) and you can also throw your old PSU away now, keep your own case and dvd/cd drive's


    And why buy a cheap dell....you could if you want buy a new bare bone and then add what you miss...seen a barebone for $111 only missed Memory, CPU, GFX card and HDD...it had the rest(Case, PSU, Motherboard)


    but still i would use the case i had and buy a new 1 later(or spraypaint the one you got now)


    P.S. Portal when your playing Crysis change your suit voice to Female ;) Yup...you can play that to then :) and you will see Juní or whatever that woman is called on the box of freelancer:D


    Looks like her in a way huh

    Wow, Sev, well done! Same $500 (except for shipping, which is probly free with that big an order anyway), but now includes HDD & PSU!


    Pawn shop might have something workable, but you'll have to do your homework to find compatible parts, depending on what they have available @ the time. I may have to junk my old comp and spend $500 myself 8o

    So how did it go ?


    I was thinking of spending 4250 dollars and then realized I had too little money. :P8o


    I was looking to buy a video camera upto 875 dollars but saw that the $375 camera was better or nearly the same. 8o:D


    I was also looking for a new PC and I love this thread. :)
