Why not just buy a new mb, cpu and a copy of vista. Must be cheaper than buying a pc just for those components.

Computer is only 200pounds.i am building 1 for some one. i have various bits already mb,cpu+vista i could sell for 160 on its own. :cool:

If its decent ddr2 ram a decent speed hard disk and a X2 3800 then its prob just about worth the £200 but for roughly the same cash you can buy those components and have a choice of make/models.

I know that i would put parts in it and sell it for more. i just wanted to know about the activation.eg i picked up 2 aoc 19tft ex display80 quid each sold 1 for 120 next day. have one as second display till i sell it :cool:
