I believe that's what I'll be going with? It's 500 dollars over my original post, but it's what I want. If someone can confirm this'll be the best bang for my buck, lemme know!
I want to...
It looks like it hid the old files in my program files, but still kept the space on the hard drive. However, some of the programs stayed on the computer so I didn't need to reinstall them.
Long story short, it worked!
Thanks Infection and Arsenal! :D
Looks like safe mode works fine for booting up, I remember trying to reinstall windows a while ago in safe mode, but couldn't because of some restriction on doing something like that with vista.
My computer, even when everything is loaded (which takes a while) will start to run smoothly for a...
Heyo CF, i've come across a problem with my hard drive.
After nearly a year of running smoothly it looks like my hard drive has finally crapped out or something.
The problem I face is that instead of the normal 3-5 minutes it takes to start and log on the computer and have my browser up, i've...
I'm on it right now, am I missing something? The two I've had work fine aside from an error in the command line with the last one (which I caused).
I'd need to wipe the drive- but I did keep the receipt. What one should I get?
Oh...
Hey, a couple of you might remember I started a thread for building my computer, but now that I have the money for most of the things I've run into an issue- holiday combos are ending, and a lot of the stuff is out of stock!
Currently own:
Hard Driver...
Oooohkay.
I've done some looking myself and I guess my final build will be mostly new, with the only old things to come over being the Hard drive, and floppy drive (I believe that's the name).
I'll be upgrading to and ATI graphics card, as I've been told it's best for my computer, probably...
Final Build! (For the record)

Yummy feedback! Thank you!
Anywho, I see that motherboard Danny linked has four places to put RAM? I have two 1gb RAM cards, plus the two would mean 6 if I'm not mistaken unless the RAM I have now doesn't fit for some mystical reason?
Anyway, here's the build I will be using now.
Old things...

Hey, I got a Dell Inspiron desktop a few year ago I believe, it was pretty good for it's time. All I did was upgrade the graphics card, now it could use somewhat of an overhaul.
I'm trying to save money by using the old tower and some of the old upgraded parts, but the rest I'm not sure about...
