This reply shows the different experiences that can vary with the individual and the problems they had.

I'm not connected with "tigerdirect" nor any other business.  Computers are a hobby for me and I have bought and returned items with out any hitches from "tigerdirect".

The question was, "should I upgrade an AT computer?" My reply was, no, because it's cheaper go with ATX. It seems like all who responded agreed. Where you get the parts is debatable.

I'm sorry, but I must caution anyone considering any purchases from
TigerDirect; they have only one thing going for them - low prices.  Based on
my past experiences with this company, their service is poor, their return
policy is almost non-existent, they will attempt to "slam" your phone
service with trick offers and they will distribute your e-mail address to
spammers.  Let the buyer beware.

could upgrade the RAM which is selling at reasonable prices.
