Well I have had the computer disconnected and sitting on a table for the past few days. Finally got the Belkin PCI network card which I ordered off newegg. When I went to install it I noticed the there previously was no network card, the place where you hooked up the ethernet cable was basically connected to the motherboard. But, I figured it would still probably work, it would just detect the new network card I installed and I would just now have 2 ethernet ports on the back of my computer, one of which did not work.

So I installed the new card just fine, fit perfectly. Went to turn on the PC and for some reason I never switched off the power switch in the back of the tower previously, so the computer just came right on. I was not done hooking everything up, so I just went ahead and hit that switch to power it down, this was before it was finished booting. Not sure if that messed it up or what, but after that I would not get the computer to boot at all. The hard drive light would be solid on, it would not blink or anything. But I tried a number of things, and the computer will just not boot. So something must the fried.

Anyways 7 year old computer no big deal part was like 16 bucks on Newegg we will just return it. So now we are again looking into a new computer, and of the 2 I previously posted, im leaning towards the Dell from BestBuy due to the fact that the memory is upgradable. Seems the Processors and Graphics cards (or lack thereof) are pretty damn similar.

Sooooo...If anyone has seen any better deals recently let me know!
