I know its a tad old (about 7 years) but it still works great. I have upgraded it with a PIII 750 processor and additional HDDs and new sound and TV tuner card etc. I have two questions I am battling with. 1) Is there a way to upgrade the motherboard so I can plonk in a P4 processor? Is it complicated to upgrade a MB? 2) The fan on this system is old and noisy - what might be a good place to procure a new quiet fan? Thanks folks.

I try to use their chat support as often as possible. Those guys have no accents ;)[/SIZE]
