Update
Sorry I didn't post back until now, I found that, by moving the machines out of a corenr, they were markedly quiter, though still not quiet. For now, that will do. I seems to recall that somewhere in this thread, someone advixed against getting a new Dell computer becasue it would have Vista. I now ...

Chapter 2
Well, my wife advised me that my dad used his computer so seldom that I shouldn't consider buying him a new one and when I just visited him, I realized she was right. Actually, for the first time, his old computer was working just as well as it was when I left it a year earlier, suggesting he was us...

My thank you post was to KansaKilla. I had not yet seen Jesse's post. Regarding the former, I didn't realize until just now that he was suggesting that Mom & Pop stores are no more expensive than Dell. I had bought into the mass merchandiser providing the lowest cost units. In any event, if the pric...

Build your own
Well, I certainly love the price but after checking out the guide, I am too intimidated to try to build it myself. Is this something a local computer store would build for me, for a reasonable price?

One would be to quiet down two noisy bottom-of-the-line Dell computers, but let's set that one aside for now. the more pressing one is buying one for my dad, THE MOST MINIMAL USER (wants enough to handle the later version of AOL, occasional...

A couple of things are not clear enough for a newbie like me. Isaac, not that I know what Northwood is, but I guess it was something good, right? Are you saying that all Pentium 4's are post Northwood - therefore don't buy any more P4's - or just that Dell P4's are? If I can digress for a moment, I ...

Noisy Dell 3000 computer
Surely there is enough knowledge here on a Dell 3000 computer to identify the main culprit?
If it something that involves a soldering iron to fix, I think I'm in over my head.
