Excellent purchase
A friend of mine needed a retro-XP computer so that she could edit some of the older photographs she had with the software that she already owned. I've been building computers since Win 95 was a baby and offered to build her one and then I found this Dell. I loaded Adobe Photo Deluxe (remember that one? and Photoshop 7 and the machine is FAST! The machine starts quickly, the programs load very fast and all operations are smooth and flawless. Reminds me of why I liked the XP-Pro machines so much. I like this machine enough to where I'm thinking about getting one for my older, but still useful, programs. A great buy and highly recommended.

My favorite Nikon
3 of 3 found this helpful I bought my first Nikon, an F with a Photomic finder, in 1967 and used it and a couple of Leica IIIC's freelancing for local newspapers in Atlanta. In June of 1972, I traded the F plus another one I'd acquired and both of the Leica's for two Nikon F2's, one with the MD1 motor drive and one without. I later added an MD2 motor drive to the 2nd F2 and those where what paid my way through college. I still have the F2 with the MD1, along with the 50mm/f1.4 non-ai Nikkor lens that came with it, and except for light seals and an occasional CLA, that camera has never been in the shop.
I currently have 16 "F" series Nikons from F's to F5's, along with a couple of dozen other Nikons and a number of medium format cameras from the studio days, but if I had to choose just one camera to keep, it would be my original F2. It's all mechanical and sunny 16 works when the batteries are dead, batteries are readily available, it will take just about every Nikkor lens I have and be happy, I can still get it repaired in the unlikely situation that it needs it and for over 40 years, it has been my go-to camera.
If a hammer had a lens, it would be a Nikon F2.

Great design
2 of 2 found this helpful I bought one of these cases for a retro-XP-Pro build for a friend and liked it so much that I abandoned a far more expensive case to purchase another one of these for an AMD FX8350 crossfire build. Because of the height of the Cooler Master Hyper 212 cpu cooler, I decided to mount two 120mm exhaust fans on the outside of the case, but no problem there and even with 32 gigs of RAM and running Photoshop CS-6 with 115mb files, no heat problems.
I'm not a gamer, so I don't how the case would be for that, but it fits my needs nicely. Highly recommended with no reservations.
