    RIP Spock96's rig.

    Did it live a good long life?

    Sounds like you must go on and replace it with a new updated rig.

    Memorialize it in a case tattoo on it's successor. Now is the time. Seize the opportunity (To swear like a madman), and build your own rig (causing the Madman swearing), and customize your new windows 7 (causing further swearing).

    It lived along life(the HD went) I got this one it was only 5 years old or so(but the I broke the pins on the HD :-O). So I took an HD outta my "old" rig and used it.
    It's all good tho I got a Dell XPS 410 waiting to get a keyboard to be able to run.

    Free does not counter-act the innate awfulness of being a Dell.

    Hey! There's nothing wrong with Dell. I've had two of them and they've lived long lives and did all i wanted them to do. :p

    I wouldn't buy one now, but they used to be great for the money. Even better for free. :)

    Got my keyboard WHOOT :-D. Now once I get win7 installed then for the "fun" of finding drivers. One curious thing though I had to restore to defaults on windows media center edition and it doesn't see my Ethernet cable?(reason I'm mentioning it is because my last rig --plug cable in and auto connected to the internet)

    Oh, it's a laptop? Oh, those are okay. Sorry, model confusion. It's the desktops that are no good.

    Wish I had 4! Then I could just leave them all on around the house. :p

    I wish I could afford a laptop. My rig is good for wow and all, but sometimes I just want to surf and read and sitting at my desk to do it is a pain in the... well my chair isn't very comfortable.
