wow, it's like deja vu all over again.
Dan's been wanted to rebuild his big clunker, and when he started looking, he realized it would be cheaper to buy a laptop. The mother board and new software would have exceeded what he spent.
He is happy with the HP 3060 with Windows 7 already in it for $750. All we had to buy separate was a cable to plug it in, a new mouse and a flash drive (unnecessary). He likes the big screen. 

All together $812 from Frys and we're waiting for the $50 rebate.

That's only a 2.4ghz dual core. I'm building a 3.2 quad core desktop for less and it will overclock to 4.0.
XP/Vista and & are all $100 from new egg. For $800 I can build a desktop that will blow away that laptop and last allot longer and it's up gradable in the future with a motherboard and processor....
