I was going to make a joke about your mom, mammals, being conductive, touching, and thresholds, but no combination of these would yield a less than X rated result.

My mother is an angel!

Let me ask you a question, I want to play games online but all I have is an old compaq with windows xp and it don't let me play any games like combat arms or solider front. Do I need to upgrade my video card?

Depending on how old it is, you most likely will need to upgrade most of the components to play most games. As it is a Compaq it might not even come with the appropriate slots for a video card. As you said it won't let you play those games, meaning it probably has an on board card that isn't supported in them.

If you have a model number or specs I could be more accurate.

I know it's real old so maybe I'm better off buying an new tower.

I t won't work unless it has a turbo button, only the newest and best towers have them.

cable management is impossible for me

I recently got an antec kuhler 920, but i'm not going to install it until I get a new case.

It could be a challenge with 8 hard drives... Velcro-ties do magic...

It's only seven hard drives

I used to have three more in there, but I got rid of all my IDE devices some time ago.

I just don't have enough room behind the mobo tray/side panel or cutouts on the tray to make cable management easy. Whenever I get a new case I'll probably get something like the corsair 650D and get a fully modular psu as well.

Yeah basically what you want to do is tuck everything behind the other side of the case and form a loop with it.

Man you nearly killed me with that post. I never understood what that button was for. I never even hooked it up anywhere lol.

Only tower I have is an old one being used as a linux box at work. I don't play computer games anymore lol. Too much time spent doing work on one.
