Now was wondering about upgrading and giving this to the kid. So we can network games. the house is all ready setup on a lan, with router. But wasn't really wanting to spend alot on new system. All ready have hard drive's and external pc items. so mainly looking at case, cpu, motherboard, video, and of course ram. Audio isn't big deal, and most motherboards seem to come with lan, and if not there cheap enough. I have built multiple systems in the last 7 years. was hoping to stay under 400$ also on the video considered maybe pulling mine out for the new system, and just putting a lower end in the kids. AeroCool Masstige is the case were looking at, can use a case that is smaller than 19"h x 19"d x 10"w
