That's a very nice computer. And you're right...the graphics card is awesome. I priced the parts individually, as best I could(guessed at some). And it totaled up to more than a thousand dollars!
If you want to buy some parts, let me know. I have a 970GTX, 4 sticks of Corsair DDR3 1600 and a Core i7 2600k (that I recently tried to overclock and will overclock to 4.5ghz and run stable). I have a motherboard too, but one of the memory channels died, so only 2 of the 4 memory slots work I also have some 1TB drives I've had for 6-7 years. That was my old PC. Had it for 6 years.
Thanks, but no. I'm not up to building one from scratch. I was just saying that the refurbished one you pointed out for $580 has about $1200 worth of parts in it. I assume that they are/it is essentially new.
Argh! Every time I get ready to pull the trigger, a little voice in my head says, "what about lawnmower repair, what about a pressure washer, what about new eyeglasses."
By doing a reg hack showing that the XP machine is a point of sale computer and you still will get updates for two more years.
Run your browser in a sandbox and after the xp register hack and the problem is solve. Sandboxie software that is free and that will work with xp is free just do a google search for it.
Judging by the number of patches I am getting for my old XP systems over the months, with that reg hack, there seem one hell of a lot of efforts is going into keeping the point of sale xp systems current and secure. As they are still being used in ATMs and such that hardly seem surprising.
Why would it not be legit as you have a right to change any part of your own system software and Microsoft know people are doing that register hack for that matter and had make no attempt to block people from doing so.
