I thought that part KK was good.

Thanks. 5 months ... took me 5 months to get this far, but it's fun and I don't plan on stopping.

I have a question for you KK and MM. It's off topic though so if no answer I understand.

Sister called last night, her 7 year old PC died, she only has $550.00 to spend on a new pc. (I know not much of a choice) so given that price range what would you suggest for her. She only uses email, picture shared with friends and family and office 2007 that's about all she uses it for.

I saw this PC while I don't like HP/DELL/Comp or any of them but since this is her 2nd PC and not really up on PC's and what she needs it for what do you think?

Really great music... Trendy, upbeat, and quite catchy. Love the characters in the vid. You should give them names - say, like, the character playing the guitar could be named "Groove Man" or something. Keyboard player could just be "Keys" or something catchy like that. Don't know. Maybe they already have names. If so, you should toss together some intro music and have it play on the vid while they are being introduced. Just a thought... Like what I've seen so far. I really like the characters alot. Very cleaver. They seem to fit nicely with the music. You guys are on to something. Next thing you know, you'll have them on the Saturday morning cartoons - maybe the follow up to the Simpsons or something. Keep at it. It's going to catch on very well one of these days. Somebody with the magic keys to the kingdom has to see this stuff sooner or later. When that happens, time for a career change.

That was cool to watch.

Never saw anything like that before...honestly i was scratching my head at times but its just me, i tend to look deeper into things like this than people intend.

Quad core with 8G of RAM? Sweet. I just got an I7, but I need the power.

I think for her it is good, my only problem so far is with the power supply only being 300. If she gets this one I'll walk her on the phone on how to make vista less intrusive on her. For the price and for a novice computer user this sounded like a decent pick but I'm just not 100% but I haven't seen anything else out there that has the ram, expansion PCI slot, media reader, and with an AMD at that price.

How did it "die" exactly? Almost anything in it can be fixed, all data can be retrieved....

It might help a little to see all the videos KK has done so far:

I tried to get KK to use her magical mod wand to merge all these threads about DNG, but alas, no joy.

I think it was her motherboard because when she turned on the PC she got nothing....usually if the HD goes out she would at least get a message of her HD not found. I had her smell and touch the power supply and that was not overheated nor smelled like a burn out. I had her replace the battery in it, that wasn't it. Her monitor is brand new and the same as mine...it was fine. So that is what leads me to believe it was the Motherboard.

MM her system was very low grade as it was. Her hard drive was only a 40 gig and 1 gig of ram. I have no idea the model of the motherboard but it has to be old with the other stuff.

Craig's List! Just buy only local and only if they let you test it first. Also, meet up someplace other than your own home if you can. Look for people who are trying to sell off old school computers (old to them is usually no more than a year these days). I got mine for 50 bucks, 1.5 Ghz Pentium III, 500 Meg RAM, 20 gig hard drive ... blah blah blah ... awesome computer for what I needed and even works for what I am doing now. If she's tech savvy at all, go to Ubuntu.com and order the free CD to.

KK she isn't even close to being Tech savvy, and can only pay using her credit card (sigh). You should have heard me trying to walk her though opening the case and finding the battery!

I did and I still didn't see any refurbished one's that has as much as the HP. I just don't know about HP computers but I know DELL SUCKS big time.

HP sucks ass.

She doesn't need a monitor, correct? So it's just a waste of money to get a package. Everything by Systemax is readily upgradable. If she's just doing basic things, all she needs is a basic computer.

Actually, I wouldn't recommend those companies that do the payment systems, the mark up in interest and shipping is outrageous, you wind up paying almost three times what the computer's worth, by the time you finish paying it off it's worth even less. If you want to go through a company find the closest store that deals with used computers, at least you can go back if you need to, pay it all at once, and you generally get a better deal. Sorry MM, I checked them out once and almost passed out from what they were asking.

The Power Supply can fail without any smoke seals failing, without any sound or any sparks. Why doesn't she take it to a computer shop and get a estimate first?

Could be something really simple, like the cooling fan quit and the overheat circuit tripped.

Ok thanks I did see one systemax that is close which is the A782

The 300W power supply should be okay for what she's using it for and she gets a free upgrade to Windows 7.
