Back to Scruffs original post, Ccleaner will wipe the 'free space' on your drive, which means that it will wipe the data that you have already 'deleted'.
http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/u ... disk-space
It warns that it will take a long time, depending upon the size of the HD and the amount of 'free space' on it.

Oh...one more thing.
If you don't want to build a WHOLE machine from scratch - barebones is a good option. Look at Shuttle PC's for an example.
Small formfactor and pre-built.
Add CPU, Memory and HDD - install OS, job done!
Some cracking little boxes too.

So a list of recommended parts to build from scratch.
What would I be looking at, money no object. Can't take it with you as Razor keeps reminding me.

Re: Deleted
If it heats the office that would be a bonus.
Desktop/tower matters not from a space angle
Mostly use it for shuffling thousands of manuals around, uploading, downloading.
And photo/video editing, don't do games.
And about 500 emails in and out every week.
I have a load of VHS I want to transfer to dvd at some time so a good writer/program would be essential.
Is win7 better than vista.

Believe it or not we used to connect water cooling systems to the big computers, mind you a desktop was about the same size as a Dutch Barn in them days.Razor wrote:I think we could trust Scruff with a water cooling kit couldn't we

Re: Deleted

motherboard
graphics card
ram 8GB is NICE, without breaking into the expensive sticks / odd motherboards
optical drive
case
hard drive I LOVE having my boot drive /apps on SSD, storage lives on a second HDD on my desktop
sound card On the motherboard is fine
network card on the motherboard is fine
wireless card can't go wrong with Intel or any of the off the shelf - go for DualBand if poss - 5GHz is awesome wireless around the house - never drops out )
power supply
heatsink
processor Intel i5 / i7 - go for i7 if you are looking to do much video
keyboard wired
mouse Wired
monitor MONITORS - ALWAYS have two monitors. Can't beat it. Once you've done it, you NEVER go back!
