tower dying, what to replace it?

[quote user="woolybanana"]Another thought: the old box has a licence strip for XP stuck on it. Does this have a value? Could I trade it for the box I need in my local computer shop I wonder?[/quote]

Caution the guy might have a fit of hysterics and flake out.....involuntary homocide count.[:)]

At best it is an OEM XP system tied to the original machine.....that said I installed an OEM XP OS to a MacOS-X machine the other day using the Licence Number.....no problem.....perhaps MS is so glad to convert a MACCY.[:)]

I originally bought this XP second hand when my Belgian University software licences were denied by the French as being illegal (which they weren't, but can't be exported) and they refused to renew.
