| 1129155 | 2010-08-18 22:12:00 | Beware matey, once you've built one you will have the itch to build more. It's a two sided thing. The manufacturers have sorted out the really painful side to the tech, so on one hand you can argue that the task is as easy as just slapping together parts. On the other hand you have to apply the study needed to determine the best combination of components (not everyone bothers with that and they just think any mix of RAM can be shoved in) which ultimately is what makes the difference between a hack and a system builder... and once you do know your stuff it almost is as easy as slapping bits together (not that I have any current knowledge re CPU, MoBo, or RAM - but I certainly respect those that do know). |

Submitted it into the computer excellence awards competition and got into the semi finals. was a great way to start off. now I still have the same comp running as a file server but with my main PC build is gonna be a nice i7 with 8gb RAM and SLi crossfire Great work man. keep it up. it takes you places |
