PC doctor
Yup, it was time to retire the old computer at the weekend. School was having an IT sellout so I picked up a few bits and pieces with the intention of revamping all the computers in the gaff.
Here are the two cases opened. Nick Kelly (Dougs brother) put this PC together for me about 6-7 years ago and it is still a beast of a machine, but on account of it being online for quite a while it is full of trojans, and other such virus nasties. So the plan was to salvage all the good bits. Out comes the leatherman tool....
Getting the hard drive out was easy, getting the video card out was really hard, its MASSIVE, bigger than the motherboard! Its an ATI Radeon, its got dual monitor support and most importantly its red.
Here it is again, the graphics card MONSTER. It all worked out pretty well, nice new PC (with a legitimate version of windows....ahem) and all music and photos transferred.
