WoW so old... I am shocked; I have never had a computer older than 2/3 years.

It's good to know that computer can be that old :)

if you plan to buy desktop please feel free to make thread here and we, members here, will make a dam hot one for a very nice price ;)

A soon to be 14 years old Pentium II desktop (working) sits somewhere in the closet, at my parents house gathering dust. Probably they think I'll have a use for it some day but it is too big to be used as a paperweight and too small for a chair.

Main rig (i7 rig/Windows 7 x64) is about 2 yrs old now I suppose
Spare Rig #1 (custom Intel rig/Windows 7 x86) is around 1 yr and a half and was a HTPC
Spare Rig #2 (custom AMD rig/Windows XP x64) is probably around 6yrs old now
Laptop (Custom built/Windows XP x86) is new to me as of about 4 months ago, was new in June or so 2009 and when I got it still new in box
Netbook (Asus/Linux Quad boot, forgot the "flavors" of linux though) is new to me as of the end of last year

(Recently sold Spare laptop and have 2 other PCs to sale still, had another 3 before tornado but they are gone now too.)

I love my little bedroom 8 year old Dell E310 with a slightly upgraded video card and a Auzentech Xplosion 7.1 dts sound card hooked to a Logitech speaker system. Still works like a champ, XP and all:heart:
