My parents had the HDD go bad with RAID set up so I got their info they wanted off the mirror and they let me have it. I've been messing around with it and this stuff is old and I'd like to just upgrade some stuff. I'd like to be able to play some higher end games also.
Can I still use this case and just upgrade a few things mostly the motherboard, processor, and RAM. Depending on how much those are I would also upgrade the video card. I don't think I really need HDD and cd drives and hopefully can keep the same power supply.
I think I'll also just bite the bullet and get Windows 7 and I did some research and I think I'll get the Linux Mint and do 2 partitions on a single HDD.
