[QUOTE="Heretic Apostate, post: 1191240, member: 696"] Nope. Some brand named "Systemax." [url="http://www.systemax.com/"]http://www.systemax.com/[/url] It was basically a seriously-reduced floor model at the local Office Depot. Basically, with my cash flow (or lack thereof), I couldn't afford a new computer. So I'm tossing in a few upgrades to this one (moved over the ZIP from my old computer, tossed in another 512MB of RAM, and am adding a CD-RW/DVD-ROM). Must have been on the Windows OEM disk, then, because we reinstalled Windows to remove any accumulated errors... So, if I open up the case, what would a slot for a new controller card look like? How much do they cost? I'm looking to add a hard drive before too long, maybe after a few checks come in from my contract with the county (which means, a couple months... I [u]hate[/u] getting paid monthly, rather than biweekly or even weekly...), unless we're talking about only a hundred dollars or so... How would one of these new hard drives be installed? I think that there's only one bay left open, and that's a 3.5" slot... I really appreciate all the help, guys! I'm hoping to add about 1GB of data a month to my computer. (I've identified over 200 PDFs I'd like to buy from svgames.com, and I'm sure I could download TONS of music from iTunes...) Add in the dozens of games I have here, and you can see how having only 6GB left on the C drive is problematic. :) [/QUOTE]
