The Shuttle&#8217;s different though. It&#8217;s at my secondary place of residence and I use it as a real desktop almost as much as my main desktop, and so being limited to a Celeron with just 1 GB of RAM was starting to get on my nerves.<\/p>\n<p>The upgrade gave a nice performace boost at a relatively low cost (45 euros incl. shipping), but also left me with a hunger for more good deals. I guess I&#8217;m beginning to see why people are drawn to these sites and trade stuff semi-professionally even. And as I&#8217;m left with the old bits of hardware redundant from this upgrade, I&#8217;m tempted to try and sell them myself.<\/p>\n<p>For now I&#8217;m just mostly into the &#8220;get adequate stuff for cheap&#8221; side though. I even signed up for Ebay and made another small purchase there.
