advice on a new self build

I am contemplating selling my 170..
Just need to make sure it still works..
I dropped the fucker

why don't you just build a device so you can become part computer, in a borgesque way, that way if you wanted a new processor you could just assimilate a new one, with out buying it.

is this techno-comedy?

my new pc comes tomo do u recon ill be able to swap out the insides and put it into my super duper metal case from my old self build? or will it be a dodgy small mobo like the old compaqs

It might be possible..
What sorta board is it?
ATX or Micro ATX?

If its ATX then you should be able to put it in your old case..

the really common one ATX i think

My case cost nearly as much as this new pc so i hope i can use it

[nerd]

What case did you get like?

[/nerd]

some top of the range (as of 4 years ago) cooler master

duel fans are noisey tho but its got 5 front bays

Preatorian or a Wavemaster..

Damn expensive but damn nice.
You get what you pay for though.

I was close to buying a wavemaster.. but then my mate got one.. so I went for a Lian Li PC65 instead..

Been the second best purchase I've made.. after the Raptor..

i think ill get 2 raptors and a terabyte box for my new one, the hard drive on this ones fucking terrible

u bought a HP Compaq? they're the bees knees

should be no problem putting it in your case

Iv gone for the Acer Aspire T160 for £400
