If the hard drive is still in it, you should tell them to erase it. Common issue with getting computers from other people.

* Lichig0 was thinking th same thing
Keep the music though xD

Lol no.

I got a changed to talk to my neighbor today and he was throwing it out. All it needs is a new hard drive he said. And I guess an OS.

A nice HD and OS shouldn't be much.
Get a nice Drive and XP and you'll be fine.

XP
320GB HD

You can't buy an upgrade CD if you dont have a OS on the drive already as far as I know.

I have a Mac so there is no point in calling me a fanboy for telling someone to use Linux. >:(

I was thinking about running Ubuntu via a virtual machine but I don't know if this computer will even be able to run it. I have to wait a week or two before I can afford a hard drive to see if i can get it to work.

See, I would dual-boot Ubuntu, but my hard drive isn't exactly what people would call large by today's standards.

Because all you do is bash Windows and support Linux. JMV isn't annoying like that.
