My laptop specifications Intel Celeron 900, Intel GMA 4500, 2 GB DDR3 Memory, 250 GB HDD, DVD-super Multi DL drive. Can you tell me how much better my new desktop compared to this laptop is? My new specifications, I couldn't get the MoBo for my laptop anywhere! Anyways I know my new desktop specs own my laptops but can you tell me things I can be looking forward too? I mean gaming is one thing and all... I play on low on any game...The thing is I just don't feel that excitement :( I think it's because of my case ~ If my case was a bit more attractive obviously I'd be way more in to it, right? Thanks for anyone and everyone who replies and suggests ideas, lots of people say it's only "your" choice to pick it out it's based on what you like, etc. Well the case I liked was a raidmax blade but it wasn't well ventilated I guess... Suggestions for a new case that comes with case fans would be cool. Thanks again. :)

Does the new system mostly do what you want faster than the old system? Can you do things with the new system that you couldn't with the old system? Did you get the performance you paid for? Do you spend more time using the system than looking at it? Oops. Evidently not. :)

Then the new system is a success.

Appearance is very subjective. Find a case you like within your budget and transplant the innards.

I'll Dr. Phill ;) :lol: got any cases that come with 3 fans or so? That are appealing! LEDs are nice but not bright ones; window would be very nice! :) thanks.
