Any new PC`s out there.

I have never bought a new PC in my life. I have never felt the need to have state of the art graphics cards, mega memory etc. The most I have paid for a second hand PC was £300. The bundle consisted of the tower, monitor, printer, audio hardwear, all relevent CD's, manuals, it even included Windows Genuine Advantage CD worth £95. Family and friends throw their faulty PC's my way when they buy a new one. I am a retired refrigeration engineer, and find tinkering with PC's an inexpensive, absorbing hobby.
I'm now venturing into laptops. I have just repaired the first two I was given. one was a little Clevo notebook. This was completely dead, no lights, nothing. I went on the net, and was told that it was probably 'static' they explained what to do and it was repaired in 10 minutes. ;) The other one was a large Clevo laptop which I repaired by formatting and installing XP with my Advantage CD. I had to buy a 2.5 external enclosure to do this.
So, Chelseaman, if you are wondering what to buy me for xmas, I suggest a Windows Genuine Advantage CD for Windows 7 ::)

Bovski:
When you buy a PC from a large manufacturer DELL, HP, Alienware, Asus ... they have a bit of code(SLIC 2.1 table) in the Bios that tells their windows 7 disk that the machine came pre-installed with windows 7 on it they use the same serial number on every machine & the machines don't need activating however much you fiddle with the hardware as long as you have a motherboard with that manufacturers SLIC 2.1 table in the Bios windows will be genuine.
This SLIC 2.1 Tables can be Inserted into any BIOS to make it look to windows like the machine originally came with windows 7 pre-installed machines with this done on them never fail Genuine Advantage.
