it's not worth it.

I have a 4 year warranty on this machine, 3 of which are remaining. If I modify any parts, the warranty is void. Also, it is very difficult as the mobo and PSU are propriety.

I really want to sell this computer. I don't need all this power, and the graphics card it going to waste, as I never play any games. A Celeron w/ 9600XT is good enough for me. Actually, If I can sell this computer for a good price, I might go buy a 2405fpw and a mac mini.

In any case (no pun intended), the dell doesn't look so bad. I am used to the subtle grey on black theme, as I own 4 current dell computers.

thats a pretty beefy system you got there, your in canda, and im guessing you want the top of the line mac mini which is about 1000$ right? and could maybe get liek 1900-2000 for that comp

@Sunday X. I know but I need to room to upgrade. I have loads of work to do on it and no money so it's slowly being upgraded. Mobo isn't priority though. First I want the internet, guild wars, new PSU, new mouse n keyboard and then a new monitor for bday n xmas.

Once all that's out the way I can start doing more unnecessary stuff, and by then I'll probably need more HDD space as well.

yeah but looks like you got a small atx board on a full size case. your upgrades dont even require space in your case. 4 5" slots, 6 rear slots, i dont know man, its just looks real weird.

I don't really need a top-of-the line anything . I just want something that can handle e-mail, word processor, music, movies and stuff. I don't care if it doesn't have games; thats what the xbox is for.

1900? for my computer? :blink: you gotta be kidding? Its almost brand-new and it's near top of the line. I was expecting at least 3000.

I just checked the price at dell.ca Right now, this computer computer costs $3458

I have had this computer for less than 2 months, and I know that computers depreciate 30% each year.

heres the math:

30 div 12 = 2.5

2.5 * 2 = 5

3458 * 1.15 = 3977

3977 * 0.95 = 3797

even after 2 months of depreciation, this machine is worth $3797 Canadian.

IK 47, I'm just curious why you bought a Dell PC and a Intel 64bit CPU opposed to a self build and an AMD Athlon 64?

    • I totally disagree. Very little good comes out of governments all around the world manipulating everything they can and usually the people are not the benefactors. What you say about being restricted and expensive sounds almost like the arguments against firearms and why banning them will protect people as if making something illegal somehow will prevent the criminals from having and using them. AI being far less mainstream could simply mean the average person will not benefit, but "big brother" and the corporations will benefit, which is almost for sure NOT a good thing.

    • "connect with audiences" is the most obvious corporate speak you can think of. I only bought Need for Speed from EA because it was the only racing game with cops in existence and I dig that. Now that they killed off NFS franchise, I have nothing to spend money on. EA is officially dead for me, just like Ubisoft which I've been boycotting for some 20 years now...
