Shit, i can send you a michine right now that is faster than yours, only 6 months old for $100+ shipping. It wont do anything for you besides browse the net and check e-mail, as it has no burner (just a CD-ROM) and it is a mini-itx machine, so it wont take up hardly ANY space. Let me know if you want it.

Specs:

1.33 GHZ Celeron
1GB DDR2 533 MHz RAM
320 GB Maxtor HDD
slot loading CD-ROM
10/100 LAN

Here is what the case looks like:

My PC ain't that bad considering how weak the RAM is.

It does everything I need it to right now. I run photoshop, video games, movies, etc just fine. I was just looking for a quick little upgrade that would cost little, but do a lot.

Once this one reaches the point that it doesn't do what I need it to do anymore I'll get something new. Right now a new PC is just an excessive luxury purchase and a 50" TV is much higher on the list right now.
