I am a first time poster to TH. I searched around the site but couldn't find anyone in my shoes as far as old prebuilt systems go. Here is a link to my current system
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01485424#N90
I know it is old. I use it primarily for basic computing (word processor, web surfing, etc) and occasionally some low level gaming (WoW on low settings, not raiding). The thing is starting to pass away and my I am trying to decide what to do about it. I have looked at building my own and buying a new prebuilt, but until today I had not considered trying to upgrade some key parts and getting a couple more years out of it. Is it possible(worth?) to upgrade this archaic mess and breath a little more life into it? Or should I just forget that altogether and buy/build new?
