curiously undead
tuned to a different freq
$908 in parts after tax and shipping but i will get to subtract over $100 in rebates. all from newegg.
my main question is though as i bought no software and i'm holding onto my 2 ton monitor for now, can i simply ghost/clone my c: drive to the new harddrive. will windows not like that sort of thing? are their any other options. in the past i would reformat my hard drive every year or so but its been a few on this nearly 5year old machine, and i really don't want to set everything up all again especially our wireless as my wife would be bummed to have her laptop be down and out for the week it would probably take me to get it up and running again.
heres my specs--please tell me i did a decent job as this might be the last desktop i ever own, minus upgrades of course.
