Just like Xmas
Just had a big box of computer bits arrive for SWMBO's new PC. 
I am replacing EVERYTHING except the case and the 2 hard drives.
New Intel DX38BT mobo, Quad core Q6700 CPU, 2 Gb RAM, 2 x video cards, 800w Power Supply, extra cooling fans.
Should keep me busy for a day or 4.

You're wasting your time Bob, she won't believe you, you're doing it back to front. Throw away the old box and buy a new one and put all the old bits into it. It will then look new. Much cheaper too and she won't know the difference.
.......don't you know anything about women ? It's all in the image !

Ride on !

You're half right, tbird. After that you put all the cool stuff in your old case.
That way you're both happy.

Maybe you should go for the gusto and get the Retroencabulator!

It only works with Windows 95, Bob - hence the 'retro'.
But seriously - only 2GB of RAM?

Mr Murphy needs his butt kicked!!
Went to boot up the old PC to do a last back up before upgrade and the Power supply for the monitor died.
Luckily, I had a spare, but it had a different plug (nothing a pair of cutters and some electrical tape couldnt fix).
I told her that that spare P/Supply would come in handy one day.
