I don't recommend people who are not knowledgeable computer consumers acquiring their systems from unknown sources. If the supplier has a good reputation, I must assume they earned it through doing things right and would trust them. If one's knowledge of the vendor is limited, then their knowledge of the product they're acquiring should be extensive. The worst case is the person without a clue buying from a vendor without ethics.

As for migrating your working environment to a new machine, I'd recommending installing your applications on your new system. (I'm assuming you'll acquire the latest OS with the hardware.) You don't want to import settings and assumptions appropriate for your old machine. Eg: a game optimized for your old video card may not exploit fully the features and power of your new hardware.

Of course, once you have your new system loaded and rolling, you'll want to copy your personal data. The capacity of a Zip drive should make this quite painless.

Cheers, PW.
