Amen Gareee, no offense to anyone here. I'm HIV+ and on a very tight budget. I built my own computer earlier this year and it's already outdated but it's totally usable. Now if I wanted to upgrade to Vista or do a dual core setup then I imagine I would need to start saving the pennies for some upgrades but if you are running a Pen IV machine (or the equivalent) then see what's under the hood. Can you upgrade your video card?? Is it on an AGP slot? Can you add more memory?? If so can your MB work with DDR2?? There are other ways to bring your computer up to date without having to buy or build one. But then add up what you would need to upgrade and look at some of the deals out there for a new box and see what's going to be more cost effective. I certainly understand about a budget. I live with dark $hadow$ over my head every day but I manage somehow. Could change any time for the worse or heck for the better. Set your sights and go for it!!
