so ive been obsessed with building my own computer, most folks have told me not to as its cheaper to just go to future shop or staples and buy one. but after installing
ram and a cdrw into my hunk o junk hp6532, decided that i would love to take up the challenge of building one myself. im no techy by any stretch of the imagination, i just love to get my hands dirty learning new things...
so this is how i found this site, reading many reviews trying to find out how something i can afford performs. this is what i came up with in my search for a new computer:
icute 302 case w/3 fans & 400wpsu
asus p4p80-mx motherboard
intel celeron d 320 2.4 gh 533fsb
zalman cnps7000acu heatsink/fan (the more i read here the more i was convinced of this one!!)
ocz400512eldc-k dual channel kit (im not a gamer and wouldnt know how to overclock if i tried, i looked on my machine at home...slow thats it!!!)
lite on 16xdvdrom
lite on sohw1633s dvdrw (matching black ones)
wd1200jd cavier se 120gb sata, 7200rpm, 8mb, 8.9ms(not sure what that is)
my big concern is figuring out the bios, the pieces im sure i can get together fine. i have some friends who will help me if i ask so im not too worried really about that either, and i signed up here.
i love the rigs here and got a kick out of the site name, my gf tells our friends im doing the pimp my
pc, so i loved finding this site!
i will post more when i start buying all the pieces, any comments, suggestions, tips are welcome as im just learning everything i can now.
thats me, ciao
