i realize that. they are legit keys from students or business accounts. while legit, it is still part of the gray market. why spend any money?

FYI.... Microsoft Toolkit will license any Windows or Office install for you instantly. Before or after install. It's what the Windows Loader was based off of..

Just build one, man. Its really easy, and it will give the opportunity to just upgrade as needed instead of buying a whole new tower.

If you re use your case, you can probably build a decent web machine for 200 bucks.

If it's a Dell, I doubt he can, unless his existing MOBO accepts the new CPU. Especially if a desktop.

You can get mobo/cpu/ram combos that will be a fine web machine for about 90 bucks, cheap HDD, cheap PSU, re use case and optical drive. 15 dollar window key. KABAM |

I think what he means is that most Dells have a BTX case. Mirror image of an ATX case. Most mobos will be ATX only and won't work with his Dell case. You can find some mobos that work with both BTX and ATX. But not real common.

'I doubt he can' re-use the case, not 'I doubt he can' build for $200.

In case it remains unclear, grey market is the bridge between pirated and the intended purchase transaction. ie, transactions outside the intended distribution channels.
Student licenses purchased by non-students. Asian versions purchased by Americans or Europeans. Canadian prescription runs.

Assuming your case is full ATX, and your optical drive is sata, here you go~
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: AMD A6-5400K 3.6GHz Dual-Core Processor ($47.98 @ SuperBiiz) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3H ATX FM2+ Motherboard ($67.49 @ Newegg) Memory: Crucial 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($33.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Hitachi Ultrastar 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($44.00 @ Amazon) Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2 500W ATX Power Supply ($19.99 @ Newegg) Total: $213.45 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-11-13 14:29 EST-0500 If your case supports a different sized mobo you can of course switch it up, if its micro ATX it will actually likely be a couple of bucks cheaper. |

Ah I miss the days of building up my PC piece by piece.
But I love my 27" iMac so much more. |
