Hey Steve, Glad I can bring back good memories for you. Oh, did I mention there is a 1600 watts power supply? Uh huh!

Hi Rudy,
I’ve built three computers over the years and have enjoyed each build. My current home computer is about 4 years old and it’s time to upgrade. I’ve built all my computers to be overclocked, and this one is full of fans and sounds like a small jet airplane. I’m not sure though if I’m going to build one or just get one from Dell (as you point out, you can’t beat the price). I don’t know if I have the time to build one these days, but it sure is fun. I can’t believe they have a 750 watt power supply now. What a monster. Anyway, I really enjoyed reading this post. Brings back memories.

Building a PC doesn’t necessarily save money. Even PC desktop manufacturers like Dell or HP has to cut prices to compete with the Notebook sales. So name brand desktops are pretty cheap these days.

The real reason to build my own PC is to obtain components that I want. It’s the ultimate customized toy. It’s an amazing feeling to have everything put together, and powered up, working for the first time.

Just a geeky thing to do. B-)

Good post. I never built my PC, but I always wanted to build one. Newegg is a great website to get PC parts for cheap farzan's last blog post..REVIEW: Planes, Trains & Automobiles
