Just find a local beige box builder. They'd be better than any of the sh!t those companies make for the price...

Funny, in my 3 hours after posting my last message, I happened to work on this Dell Dimension 8100 with a IBM Deskstar.
Maybe next time you should get your facts straight before trying to call someone out. And yes, the hard drive is original since it has a Dell P/N on it.
Now back to original thread topic.

(Sorry if this has been posted already)
I'll teach you how to build your own. I've been building my own PCs/PCs for my moms cilents for 4 or so years now. Its really just like a big lego set....a lego set that you can fry with a little static electricity. But for about a grand you can build a decent gaming class pc. Something that would cost around 2K from dell/alienware/ect.

Test PSU, Oh, PSU is dead... ok, try new PSU, system does not power on. Seems to be a VERY common problem. Buy an E-machines from Best buy, better get a Service plan

Yeah, I've dealt with alot of those cases. Seems that the brand they use for power supplies have a tendency to not just die but also damage other parts in the process.
