  2. Thanks @6thOntheLeft, unfortunately, it didn't come with the windows key sticker but I was able to get past the password on the main account and run Belarc Advisor. If you have never heard of it, its a great free program that will tell you your windows key.
  3. Hey guys, I'm trying a few new things today. First, I'm actually doing a project. Second, I'm combining y love for repurposing old hardware and building PCs. A friend had given me his old gaming PC from the mid 00's and I figured, why not. I really like the style of the case and the fact that it was decent hardware at the time, lets see if it can keep up with some basic computing of today. I will be uploading pics and talking aobut the process and my experience as it comes along. Also hoping for some feed back as well. As far as the "UV" part goes, this is also a first for me. I have never put much time/money in the aesthetics of my PCs (usually defeats the purpose of budget build) but today, I am going to try... on a budget. No before pictures. I wish I did because this thing was caked with dust. Took all the parts out and cleaned everything Part list: Motherboard: Asus P5N32-E SLI (I think it came with a dedicated sound card) CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.67 GHz (Stock cooler) GPU: Palit GeForce 9600 GT Memory: (2x2GB) Patriot DDR2 800MHZ (4-4-4-12) HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200 256 GB Wireless: Linksys WMP54G Wireless-G 2.4GHz PSU: CORSAIR Gaming Series GS600 600W Case: UNKNOWN Everything put back in except the 9600 (using an DIAMOND Radeon HD 6450 for now) Gotta love the tacky window fan. Cleaning the 9600. Such a weird little thing. Damn this thing gets hot too. The PCIE slot it was in (one of the sli slots) no longer works so I think it may have cooked it. I'll double check later For some reason, windows will not update. (yes its activated) So im going to work on that while I wait for the UV stuff to arrive
  4. It's probably because the ISP gives YouTube and Vimeo priority on bandwidth. I'm noticing the same thing happen to me. I have an AT&T unlimited data plan and as soon as I ran out of my high speed data, only the big media sites continued to work well. I can still stream YouTube videos but this takes FOREVER to load a page.
