I as well as the first poster have gotten a hard drive working by putting it in the freezer for a while... another strange fix I did was...
Thanks guys, I'm gonna go for the Dell :)
The Dell I am proposing is less than $860 (round $724 and $770 after graphics card), and has a better processor tho? What I'm looking for is...
a cheap computer with an i7? Processor and motherboard alone would put me over budget i believe. or close to it anyway. @heliman - I don't...
