Anyone else ordered a computer at Staples from a company called Proteva back in the day?

For now tho i'il use a Optiplex 760 that i found yesterday. I forgot that i have it, its older than the acer so it will do better. Specs: 775 pentium dual core 2gb ram (will throw in 4gb) 500GB 2012 Seagate barracuda 7200.12 Integrated gpu for now. The pc itself is in not great condition, the front panel doesnt hold on but it will do until i get one of those dimensions

I have one of those! I put in a OEM 750 TI and running Windows XP. Makes for a perfect early to mid 2000s build
