    Hi all, looking to upgrade from 6 year old Dell laptop and a desktop iQon from tesco circa 2004/05. Have never built a PC before but would prefer to give it a go and hopefully have a better machine, than buy off the shelf. The PC will be for college work researching, assignments etc, web browsing, storing family photos video etc. The hard drive on the iqon got corrupted and became unusable but it does have a cd/dvd drive that may still work. The old case is 14.25 inches H, 7.5 inches W, 16 inches D, don't know if it can be used or any of the internals.
