Hi guys, its been a while since I've posted here. I bought a DS computer about 4 years ago and I've really enjoyed it and I'm thinking of getting another new computer sometime in the future. I was wondering if DS allows to return an old system they've bought from them to get credit onto buying a new computer? Like maybe salvage my case or something.

Thanks :)

I'm sorry, we won't be able to take the older one back. However, you could sell that awesome system on eBay, to a friend, Craigslist, etc...

Replace mobo. Replace CPU. Replace GPU. Total Cost = ~$800.
Backup files. Reinstall Windows. Reinstate files, reinstall software. Voila. New system.

Sell old mobo, CPU, and GPU on eBay. Estimated return moneys - ~$250

Net moneys spent - ~$650

Total that would be spent on entire new system - $1800

Net moneys saved for later use - $~1150

The beauty of systems with standard parts my friend (as opposed to Dells and their annoying nonstandard parts).
