Or is it just an upgrade?
My old computer has been dead for several months now. I was going to try and put some money together to buy a new one, but I thought, why not just make a new computer? So I went to Memory Express's website, and put together a computer. Initially it was only going to be a few extra parts, but then in the end I bought pretty much and entire computer minus the harddrive, monitor Keyboard/mouse, and speakers.
Assembling a computer you learn to appreciate how complex it can be. It's not impossible, but I feel that it is not something for the un-technically-savy to accomplish. Or maybe I'm just bad at it? I spent about 15 minutes trying to open the case. Every little task took hours and hours!
Finally I built the computer. Upon turning it on, I remembered that I forgot to screw the motherboard down properly, so it was really noisy. There were a few other problems, but I solved them.
I'm going to install linux on my new computer! Then I can dual boot! It'll be exciting.
