After my last choose that i made about a mobo it didn't matter how it looked, cause most of the time it's under the table and the only time i'm looking at it, is when i have to vacuum it or upgrade something..

It's probably for Display only type of deal.

6Gb Memory 70$

500GB 70$

DVDR 29$

Power 500w 65$

Windows XP 64 that i downloaded from MS Site that gave me somehow without any activation needed, still runs without any notice like others have it on pirated versions of it.

And that was on a fast hand without shopping around. Just came, boom got it, went home happy. Although i have to wall around for about 1hours to figure-out either amd or intel, and nvidia or ati

I bought a 500GB x2 =1tb, 2 external HD's. Used them rarely, then suddenly one of them started making noise so i parted since it was RAID configured and recovered data along with not my data.

At first i looked at it thinking it was some crap.. then i seen a picture file with an ad from a banking UNNAMED info site that made me superstitious in going really inside when i found 7 PC's of data been backup to it(System data, registry data, the whole nine yards).....

There account numbers current balances their addresses about 600GB of data logs, Paychex, emails, db, etc.......  about 50GB of it was a DATA ("in a plane view that could be opened with a notepad") from people applying for loans with there FULL history of loans ssn, cc............... The basic info that you get from them credit record history companies....... From "UNNAMED BANK" so in thinking it ever get to me when i'm less expecting it,

I called to "UNNAMED BANK" and after 2 hours of telling me that they have a policy in place and other crap of excuses they used..... They finally asked me to send them back and replace me with new 2 HD ... plus some money....

But if i ever again have that happen to me, i will sell it On craigslist or other place..... cause it took me 2+ hours to prove that i actually have it.... Photos, emails, Phone calls,......... another month of going trough lawyers get accusation of me removed, just because i bought it from ebay moreover having a prove from paypal etc.... and not hacking it....! downloading it for 100+ hours of 600GB+....... That's a night mare.!

Good luck to thoes who will ever go trought it.!
