You got 5 days left on the auction, so not sure why you need help fast It's kind of a shitty specification to be honest. It'll do the trick for launching Windows XP, and general Internet use, but apart from that, I wouldn't push it. Plus, 40GB HDD is nothing. Don't spend $100 on it. The CMOS BIOS cell is so easy to replace - open up the PC, look for the silver disk that's the size of a 10pence piece (or a dime), pull it out and replace. You'll need this: http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/BN-CMOS-BATTERY_W0QQitemZ290415949133QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_216?hash=item439e23b54d And a mouse. Sounds like it doesn't come with an operating system either, so you'll need to grab a license for that... Up to you lad. Depends on your budget and what you want from a DT.

That system is roughly... 7-8 years old? At a guess. Also, just to avoid confusion. CPU stands for central processing unit. It's a part of a computer. If you buy a CPU, you're buying a single component that makes up the computer itself. Go to Dell's website, buy a new system from there.

But my CPU exploded/pop because I accidentally change the setting of the volt switch.

I'm a teen and I dont really about computers. What is the average cost for a repair of the PSU? In USD, thank you.
