Because I think that what you are trying to do is pure folly and I
thought you should know. But if you want to keep spending and adding to
that old completely outdated box suit yourself.

when i specifically said i wasnt interested in the cost tho, i was alraedy
told that it would be cheaper to just buy a new comp.


I pretty much agree with John John on dumping the case for a new one. The
power supply is old and may not support a new motherboard's power
requirements. Putting in a new motherboard will require at the minimum a
repair install to add all the new features. The hard drive is also old and
if you are changing out the hardware anyway, a new larger drive should be
included in the purchase anyhow. The old drive can be placed in the new
system to copy off the data.
