I have no idea what the name of his site is. Probably not that one LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 03/05/2011 01:50:38 AM
He's got one of those jobs that took me a while to even understand. It seems he designs boards that are used to test other boards. That's kind of how he explained it to me? Electrical stuff kind of goes over my head

New PC: to build or not to build LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 04:16:46 PM 995 Views
The advantages of building your own computer seem to be smaller these days. lord-of-shadow - 02/05/2011 05:19:09 PM 769 Views
I take satisfaction in tinkering with computers... LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 06:40:12 PM 1096 Views
Also, one of the big savings for building your own computer... lord-of-shadow - 02/05/2011 07:27:37 PM 759 Views
yah that's part of the problem. I don't have a desktop right now. Not even a case LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 07:37:45 PM 756 Views
It's not hard at all anymore. Link for Lorraine, too Jragghen - 02/05/2011 09:32:48 PM 880 Views
I always buy Intel. Papa works there LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 09:39:00 PM 828 Views
Huh, small world. What site? Jragghen - 02/05/2011 10:36:55 PM 962 Views

small world or large company? *NM* Foxhead - 03/05/2011 10:48:11 AM 419 Views
Both? *NM* Bergioyn - 03/05/2011 02:35:57 PM 377 Views
I don't know about you... Fox and Ravens - 02/05/2011 08:21:41 PM 794 Views
And you would have been getting a Dell. *NM* Ghavrel - 03/05/2011 03:27:44 AM 421 Views
Truth *NM* Fox and Ravens - 03/05/2011 04:38:36 AM 398 Views
Just get a pre-made and add a few components (ie: graphics card) to make you feel like you built it. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 02/05/2011 08:53:07 PM 380 Views
Build it. Aemon - 03/05/2011 02:54:12 PM 920 Views

How? Aemon - 03/05/2011 05:04:27 PM 696 Views
Re: How? lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 06:47:56 PM 717 Views
Wow, I never heard about that. Aemon - 03/05/2011 07:10:07 PM 783 Views
Nah, it was years ago. The one you gave me advice for was the replacement of the replacement, hah lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 07:41:24 PM 700 Views
Yeah, I meant the power supply of the problem machine. Aemon - 03/05/2011 08:10:04 PM 772 Views
Ah. yeah, it was one of the pieces that got replaced. It was probably at least partially responsible *NM* lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 08:12:50 PM 417 Views
I like how you seem to think I'd buy a Dell LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 04:17:58 PM 753 Views
lol, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. Aemon - 03/05/2011 04:37:18 PM 781 Views
At this point, I'm looking at building thanks to papa LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 04:59:07 PM 753 Views
If you like tinkering, then build one. Quality control is all on you, but it's "yours" then. Zalis - 03/05/2011 03:00:21 PM 721 Views
#1 reason to build your own: no pre-loaded bloatware. *NM* Macharius - 03/05/2011 04:52:45 PM 401 Views
It's a plus, but I'm not sure about #1. Aemon - 03/05/2011 05:26:29 PM 730 Views
Re: It's a plus, but I'm not sure about #1. Macharius - 04/05/2011 02:14:20 PM 719 Views
Or just format when you get it. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 06:48:47 PM 387 Views
With a pre-built you can't often do that. Aemon - 03/05/2011 07:19:28 PM 757 Views
for the record, sometimes stores will remove the bloatware for you LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 07:28:58 PM 688 Views
They say they do. Aemon - 03/05/2011 07:46:19 PM 728 Views
Do prebuilts come without OS discs these days? That's bullshit. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 07:43:39 PM 403 Views
Yah, they don't. LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 07:47:36 PM 720 Views
Well, it's understandable, just annoying. Aemon - 03/05/2011 08:05:00 PM 709 Views
You really should just stop using Dell as your example LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 10:51:10 PM 710 Views
Oh, hush. Aemon - 04/05/2011 12:50:15 AM 877 Views
YOU SHALL NOT MALIGN THE HP!!! LadyLorraine - 04/05/2011 10:16:50 AM 733 Views
Re: YOU SHALL NOT MALIGN THE HP!!! Aemon - 04/05/2011 04:55:49 PM 784 Views
huh. fair enough! *NM* LadyLorraine - 04/05/2011 05:43:19 PM 353 Views
My anecdotal evidence has HP failures being rare but spectacular. Ghavrel - 04/05/2011 08:19:52 PM 731 Views
I had a Compaq laptop (built after HP had bought Compaq). Aemon - 04/05/2011 09:13:54 PM 703 Views
Huh. I have a Compaq too. It shipped with bad RAM, but once I fixed that it's worked like a charm. Ghavrel - 05/05/2011 12:43:48 AM 709 Views
Yes, almost without exception. Aemon - 03/05/2011 07:58:32 PM 856 Views
I think build your own L0gan - 17/05/2011 07:55:30 PM 1072 Views
Have you made your decision yet? Two Wongs - 28/05/2011 02:19:36 AM 864 Views
I'm going to be building one with my dad LadyLorraine - 01/06/2011 02:42:35 AM 662 Views
