"Hey, have any of you built your own computer before? Just an idea in my head, but if you have I am currently putting together a parts list to go from someday. And buying computer parts right is probably the hardest part."
I've been building PC's since the 80's. My first PC was a Sinclair Z80 system soldered together from a kit. Nowadays, it's just plugging components together. The question is what do you want the computer to do? A basic PC to web browse and run MS Office is fairly cheap to assemble. If your talking gaming, you can dump thousands into video cards, top-end CPU's, water cooling, fancy cases etc. Another option to building is to buy a decent used system and upgrade. My current workhorse is an 08 vintage dual 3ghz Zeon IBM graphic workstation I picked up off eBay for $150. When new this system was $6K. I replaced the HD's, added 6G's of used RAM and moved my XP installation onto it. Steve -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
