why pay 1200 for a better system when it could only cost 500.00 around about to upgrade your system.

if you have all the Cd and DVD system trays and Graphics card to boot then get a bare-bone kit basic you revamp the heart of the system, here a good sample Link: "Click-Here"
basic:
Intel D945GNTL Socket 775 Barebone Kit / Intel Pentium 4 524 3.06mhz / 1024MB DDR / CPU Fan / ATX Mid-Tower Case / 350 Watt Power Supply, Cd's drivers MOB, cables included and HT.

No: HD, OS, CD's /DVD's trays drive, A-drive floppy.
me cost USD-501.11 with S/H & Tax

you have to keep in mind best get a bare-bone kit that has AGP 4x or 8x 1-slots and match your Hard drive type of connection sample you have a SATA and the bare-bone kit is made for IDE then it be no good, more PCI-Slot better for you to add more goodies to it, in this case it has a audio build into the mother broad is nice but you can use a PCI-Card and un-install the mother broad audio software/drivers then instill the new audio card in.

this is the one i think of getting right now, i grand father in all the other items in without paying out the pocket to get a better system. this tower has a 3yrs warranty on it too.

i have to add-in the A-Drive,1-Hard drive 300GB IDE, 3-Cd/DVD (2-writer 1-DVD 1-CD 1-DVD/CD rom) trays, Tv-card, Graphic card, it has a build-in Graphic going to un-instill them add-in a AGP 8x card to it.

a plus in this case the barebone kit come with all the drivers and software for the mother broad be sides fans and cables toboot. not all bare bone kits come Cd's software and drives and Cable at all, 1024MB DDR RAM, some times one have to search for item to instill into a bare bone kits. but this one has it all.

so fish around see what is good for you, keep in mind type HD IDE or SATA connection it has to match with yours and AGP Sluts be sides any PCI slots more the better 3-7 is good, and if there any drivers with software for the MOB some time they have them posted up on sites to download to be instill from the MFG of the barebone kit site.
