Basically I run two pc's a fast one and a faster one, so the conroe will replace the faster one, the faster one becomes the fast one, and the fast one goes on ebay LOL.

I was thinking about offering it up for sale on JW to help raise funds to cover the sites running costs, but I guess shipping will be a PITA as usual so sadly I guess selling it off as parts will be the best way to go

It wouldnt hurt to try to sell it on JW you know? I would be interested but I am short on funding from my parents.
