Yea, he does kind of have a point there lol. Dude you still could have used shit out of that computer lol. The optical drive probobly would have worked, did you try it in another machine. By the looks of the picture it looks like you have a dell optiplex GX model. I wouldnt say it was worth ruining though lol. Are you gonna atleast save the parts that are good? I am a hardcore pc junkie, i play with mac too, i am down with anything. If you build computers like me you could probobly still use the power supply, cpu, and some other parts, you watch, you save enough parts, you can start building computers lol. And btw if that computer was a compaq or HP, then ha ha ha, thats what you get for buyin that brand lol. They are the biggest piece of shit, funny story, i know this family that got a compaq, and had bad luck, and you would think they wouldnt buy another one right? Well ha ha ha, they bought an HP, (dumbasses) i was like "sounds like a good deal, EXCEPT FOR ITS HP) they didnt listen lol. Now theyz wishin they never bought that fuckin thing.
I am getting sick of windows though and i am pretty much ready to change to mac. But i am a little frustrated with the compatabiltiy issues lol. So i am stuck with both lol.
So you saving parts, or destroying everything including good stuff?
