You'd be surprise, retailers in this instance we'll just say Microsoft, always work out ways of making things break, think about it, because then you the consummer have to send it off and the cost of the repair is almost the cost of the machine.

I wouldnt hold your breath after a few years you'll be going "he's right, mines just broken"

Pay for new machine, or as their a software giant we could also throw in pay for your windows upgrades as well :P

I've seen hundreds of pre-owned ones on sale at a discount price, gee I wonder where the supplier found those?

I'm going to salvage the next one I find and just take it to bits for the micro-chip, el CPU and build my own machine.

You should see the cooling tower in the one you have, it's pretty big and not in a bad way, it's gas cooled!

I think it's freon, but I could be wrong.

I thought forums are for people to share knowledge and ideas with other intreasted parties who might find the material intreasting, I thought turning an Xbox-360 into a Desktop PC wasnt such a bad idea. My mistake!

Just dont hold it against me when I pick one up on garage sale for 30 bucks and loads slackware linux onto it! :P
