Hey Bernard, As long as you are staying with a small channel count (under 200). It would probably be fine. I probably throw away better computers than yours as I inherit a lot of old computers after I help customers convert to a new machine or replace broken ones. We should talk about this next fall and see what I have in my stack that will be going to the electronics recycle place at that time. Mark your calendar and call me around Sept 1, 2013. There are nine computers sitting here now in various stages of assembly. Some have a bad hard drive, some a bad motherboard, others just old. I'm about to retire the computer I was using for my show last year that had about 3200 channels. I get out of memory errors this year when I went to over 7000 channels. Call me after the first of the year if you want to look at that one.
