    Hi,
    Apart from the ubiquitous Currys / PC World, Hardly Normals, are there any recommendations for a brick-and-mortar store in Dublin to get a bog-standard PC?.. It's not needed for much more than light surfing, emailing and Word use. Need to replace the wife's Dell fairly urgently, the mobo has blown. (it's a 2009 435 MT, probably a lot of hassle to recycle the processor (even though it's an i7), RAM etc as I presume current mobos have different slots, architecture etc. 2009 is prehistoric I'd imagine, and sure I wouldn't mind having something with a more modern PSU, DDR3 ram and USB 3.0, and I could probably convince the new PC to dual boot the old PC's OS (or use Disk2VHD to create a VM of it).

    Thanks,

    Yakuza.

    If you’re planning a trip to our offices to make a collection, first make sure you have received a collection email from our warehouse, or your online order status shows Awaiting Collection. Then you can use the directions and maps below to plan your route.
    On the Naas road, at the Longmile roundabout, take the turn for Nangor road (signposted Clondalkin), it’s between Woodies DIY and the Harris Hino Truck Centre.
    Continue along the Nangor Road through two sets of traffic lights. At the third set take a right hand turn into Park West Industrial Estate.
    Continue over the canal bridge, past Jackie Skellies, to the roundabout. Take the third exit onto Park West Road.
    Continue on Park West Road for 400m. Take a right between Allied and Masterlink onto Kavanagh Avenue.
    At the end of Kavanagh Avenue take a left onto Canal Walk.
    Elara Online will be at the end of the zone – Unit 37.

    The image can also be used to create installation media using a USB flash drive or DVD.

    if you copy windows from one pc to another,
    it will not boot up,
    as the mobo,cpu,on board chip set are completely different.
    Take out the drive,
    give old pc away on adverts.ie free

    4gig ram, dual core ,or intel i3 cpu is enough for waht you want to do on the pc.

    K20 isn't just superb in performance, it's extremely quiet as well. You won't be disturbed when you leave K20 on overnight, as it runs whisper-quiet below 23dB at idle - more quiet than a typical library. No more disturbance when your studying or busy on work.
