I am looking into buying a new system and scraping my old computer. I've finally found a good deal on something of an upgrade, but the optical and hard drives were taken out. Will I be able to transfer my old optical/hard drives right on over? or will there be problems connecting them to the unit? thanks!
I will be going from this system to this one
EDIT: Added necessary details to thread title

This needed a new thread.

Well on another note, this should have been posted in the Computer and troubleshooting and not in the WOW forum. See that was relevant

Now that is just down right unfriendly of you. Nikkel was actually being fairly nice, by indicating that perhaps you should put all your question in one thread. In fact he could have been very rude about it and and even told you to go take a hike and post it the proper forum instead of this one. (dang it, he snuck in ahead of me)
Now before you accuse me of being not helpful too, your hard drive will go in to the new system, however, it will probably become the bottleneck, as the new system is capable of supporting a SATA hard drive and your old one will just be very slow. Depending on what programs you are running this may or may not be a factor, for WoW it probably won't be much of a factor in performance since the 2 gigs of ram should be adequate.

I did not see a technical forum in the drop down menu, so this was my best choice. For future reference, however, this will be useful. Thanks.
If a mod could please move this to the technical forum, as I would rather not repost it, it would be appreciated.

Thank you. I'll have to look into that a bit more. I'm not quite sure if WoW is worth the 200+ investment I'll need to make to get things going, but I do appreciate the advice.
P.S. I did not intend to be rude toward the other poster, but his sarcastic remark was just as uncalled for.
You need thick skin around these forums. We aren't the Oboards that will call you a poopie head, but we'll stick barbs in you pretty damn quick.
The computer is a decent rig once you get a nice video card into that port. Try and find out if it's a PCI-E 16, if not, don't spend too much money on a really good card as it'll be bottlenecked.
