Booo, Y2. You just gotta know what you're doing, and if you don't know what you're doing, then you buy a cheap-ass computer for which you don't mind losing the data if something screws up. It's not like something can break just by plugging stuff in.

It's a great project. Anybody that does it once will wonder why they worried so much about it.

 

math is right...pcs are not hard to build

 

Well if that's the case, then great. The tech guy here at work has a room full of computer parts that are basically out dated and useless. For me, I would love to in there find what works and build what I could for people that don't have a computer to help get them started. I've rebuilt, swapped out, and upgraded, but never built. Should be great fun, just don't lose any hair over it

What can of budget do you have? If I was to build one, there are a couple of features I would want.
DVD-R/CD-RW Combo drive
Seperate DVD/CD Reader ofcourse
Firewire (atleast 4 ports)
Gigabit Networking
6:1 Surround Sound
and TV/Video/S-Video input

 

No...mine came to me from a very unreliable source here in Charlotte and I have monkeyed with it til it's almost too much. I'm trying to push it beyond it's limits, but when it works, I can't see spending more money just to replace something I only use for internet surfing and pictures and mp3's.

 

You can also buy stuff at Slayton but they're not really cheap.
