    No one catching the 2500 HUNDRED (barter) for a ***5*** year OLD system here?! The thing better cook, do the dishes AND the laundry if its even 6 MONTHS old for that price.

    We run older systems all the time and no problem. Just need a new fan on the chip and change the supply now and again. They get clogged up no matter what you do and even the air compressor can't get all the dirt out.

    (Besides the fact that if you knew anything about the internal part of a transofrmer, they just aren't built to last. (that from the old man who can make transformers and has)

    Shouldn't take more than an hour to put a system together and have windows started to install btw. Quit admiring the boards and remember shiny side up!

      Errm, I'm pretty sure Intel didn't have a P4 3Ghz chip back in '97.

        I'm not selling my system. I want to throw the fucking thing out the window. I'm offering designs in exchange for a "new" PC.

          Sorry Railz! I was reading it the WAY it was written. lol

          built this one and it has lasted about 5 years now. I think the processor is about to crap out though. I installed XP Pro on a 400MHZ w/ 128MB RAM...

          I won't go into whether you are right or wrong about the chip, but we built and sold custom systems from '97 until '00 ;-)p

          ******************************************

          And aha VooDoo! I took it the other way 'round, that you wanted that many designs FOR the system! Makes more sense now. We might talk trade but have no need for paysites at the time. You should be able to put at least a 1.8g, board and some more ram in it for less than 500. Its been awhile since I checked pricing so might be able to beat that.

            If you can find them, the P4 1.6A Northwoods are a great buy. Overclock to 2.2Ghz with no problems with the stock cooler.

            Chip should run you about $130 now, a motherboard similar to the MSI Ultra-ARU 845 about $80 and a stick of 512 for about $100.

                  If it has a high enough wattage PS and will hold the board, what difference does it make? Or are you one of those guys that think your 1988 dodge looks better because it has a new coat of paint?!

                  A case is a case. We use older cases and just put a higher PS in it if needed. lol As long as it runs, runs right and doesn't smoke... lol We don't invite people in to oooo and ahhhh over pretty computer cases. Most people don't even know that we even own one let alone a network.

                  Soooooo... wtf are YOU thinking about?! Pretty = better?!

                    don't be fooled by that case design, the tiger is inside.
                    do a search on adult boards, I've heard bad things about alienware. If I were you I'd buy a Dell or make one from spare parts , my actual one is made from spare parts, it kick ass...
                    Photoshop made me some problems few weeks ago too... I've reinstalled all (win2k +software) and I made a backup with Norton Ghost... it may crash now, I'll restore it in 5 minutes...

                      128 MB of RAM???? No wonder Photoshop laughs at you!

                          Yeah, saw that thread a couple weeks ago... I'm open to any other system. I'm not set on AW specificly. For the same amount of $, I could probably find a much better system than AW anyhow.

                          In the heat of my frustration w/ my current box, the only site that came to mind was AW.

                                I run my business on a 350mhz. I'm not ashamed of it.
                                it does the job

                                i was a broke mexican for a while and yes all my work is done on it.

                                business gets better everyday. I'll get another soon enough.
