Ecco Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Very nice computer for such a small price. But yeh, upgrade the OS for sure. Vista is pretty good, but I do prefer Win 7. However, the computer that I built is still running Windows XP flawlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macfadyen732 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yeah I spend a good month or two picking out what i wanted to put into it. went back and forth between intel and amd. The Amd was just to good of a price to pass up. The only problem i have with going with windows 7 is it's so damn expensive. But from the looks of it im going to have to, i have used this copy of vista before and i can't activate it to this PC now... Which sucks. But I'll Defenetly get some pictures up some time tomorrow let you guys have a look.

Macfadyen732 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Well today didn't go as planned, busy as hell. Ended up droping $200 on windows 7, and got it up and running. I didn't realize that vista wasn't going to let me activate it on my new computer because I activated it on my old one before i went back to xp. So I had to spend the money now which I didn't want to do. But I did notice a huge proformance improvement from vista (which was the 32bit version) to 7 (64bit version), so I am happy about that. Pictures of it all running will have to wait though, until i go to storage and get my monitor and surround sound. and get it set up how i want it. Athough I am liking using my 32" samsung.
