    Default Refurbishment

    My current laptop is good, but not brilliant.

    Im planning on refurbishing a cheap computer into a great one.
    New:
    - Hardrive
    - Processor
    - 4/6 GB RAM
    - nVidia 9000 turbo or something like that

    Have I missed anything?

    I am planning on buying this:

    What are your thoughts? Is this a good/bad computer to revamp?

    Oh, and I haven't looked into the graphics card yet, will find out later.

    Waste of time, I doubt you'll be able to upgrade anything to a decent standard.

    Just build from new.

    Well its harder building from scratch rather than revamping, isn't it?

    The only parts you could use from that would be the case and maybe the disc drive. There's no point. If you want a decent computer then build one as that from the start.

    I've decided to build my own.
    What I've taken from the feedback is that is a bad idea .
    I will post more threads on what you guys think of the parts I will be choosing.
