brand new systems are under $300. I don't know what your situation is but that's really a boat anchor. You can't even put Vista on it.

Anyway, disconnect the power cord, discharge yourself against the computer case, pop the old ones install the new ones pressing hard and GET A CAN OF AIR and blow that thing out, outside, you will not believe the crud in it.
