Pap I'd only feel one was obsolete when it became near-impossibe to source new parts to fit the motherboard. However, I am selling mine if my DSA comes through and gives me a lappy. (the world's cheekiest hint lol)

dbd, thank you, it's good to know other commited smokers have managed to give it up and keep it up. I have been smoking half my life (I was 13, I blame older sisters and a friend who worked in a garage) and think it's time I had a smokefree life.

Random question from Pap... When would you class a pc unit as out of date/useless? I was having a discussion with lil bro the other day saying how I would like to buy a new case for my main pc. The pc is 4 year old nearly and although I have updated it some of it is still 'old' but its fine for me. However its never had any major problems etc. He replyed saying it wasnt worth just changing the case as it would be cheaper to buy a whole new tower Aside from environmental issues I explained that I couldnt really afford a new pc now and this is cheaper, to which he replyed put it on your credit card :rotfl:

In the new year I am planning to start a new sealed pot for a pc in 2011 unless emergencys come first but when would you feel you 'need' a new pc?

It's all a question of economics. As they age, time moves on and parts become obsolete. If you're not wanting to add to your machine, then just swapping the case would be fine.

Though that does raise the question: Why do you want a new case?

Thanks Elf and Zed. To be honest it is techniaclly 'obsolete' because I cant find a graphics card to fit it However it just means I cant purchase a pc game I wanted it doesnt mean I can't use it as I have been. I have already added more ram and a dvd drive I dont think I want to add more from it... Although windows 7 update would be fab but its too old for that

Zed the reason I want a new case is the cd and dvd drives are under spring loaded flaps. However the conectors that hold the top one up is broken so thats selotaped and the bottom one doesnt always open but I think thats more a conection issue with the drive :rolleyes: So just cosmetic really its nothing important I was just toying with the idea I think its more a phase I go through because the beginning of this year I was all set to purchase a new tower but that soon passed over. I guess this will too next week :rotfl:

Pap~My old pc was 5 1/2 years old and took 15-20 mins to start up & as you may remember so slow.It served us well & until beginning of this year we both used it every day so dident owe us anything.

Why don't you just rip the flap off?
