So my grandfather, may he rest in piece, who died this past may loved Alliance. I purchased a desktop from them and had issues with it. The problem was that it was overheating and the alarm on it would go off and start beeping. So he took it back to Alliance and they unpluged the alarm, I thing they must have unplugged the case speaker, I didn't investigate. Since that my grandparents have been running their PC without the cover on the case to allow more air in and when the PC would shut down to protect itself they would vacuum it out and it would run again. Well since this has been happening since my grandfather has passed away I was talking to my grandmother and told her I suspected the only thing that needed done was that I needed to use silver thermal paste on the heatsync and processor and that would solve the problem. Well, she decided she didn't want to deal with the PC anymore and she was just gonna use her laptop. I took the PC and backed up the HD and reinstalled windows and drivers all from discs provided by Alliance. As I'm installing windows updates the computer randomly shuts off so i install a temperature monitor. During the next round of windows updates i watch the temperature go from constanct 72c to 80c and it shuts down. I proceed to pull the heatsync and find white thermal compund smeared all over the heatsync. I clean the heatsync and processor and apply arctic silver thermal paste that I always use and recommend for maximum heat dissapation. The computer boots to and runs at 61c and there are no problems installing updates anymore. How can a computer shop be so clueless? I would not recommend to anyone. ...read more

I'll keep this short and sweet. Most older computers are running old operating systems. Usually Windows XP or Vista. These systems suffer from viruses and many other malicious pieces of software. They are also pretty heavy in terms of effort it takes for your hardware to run the software. Think of your operating system like a pickup truck. If you truck is always out of tune and with 500 pounds in the bed of that truck your 0-60 mph time is pretty slow. But if your truck is fined tuned, modern and there isn't 500 pounds in the bed then your 0-60 time is really quick. You can do it all with lightweight Linux, and of course we think our setup is the right mix for almost everyone.
