Have you built your own PC?

[NR117]

Hmmm, I don't know where I fit in on this one. My last computer was bought off the shelf cause it was open box and a killer deal. Though Since then I've changed a lot of the computer and even put it in another case.... So I did build it , but i didn't buy all the parts individually.

You're right, if you put all the parts from one case into another then you would have rebuilt a whole computer.

I voted yes

I voted yes. But i didnt physically put it together. I done my homeworka nd asked people read up on stuff and finally decided on this, What do ya think? Cost about 27000 baht , around 300 and odd quid. This was with 1000watt speakers aswell. No onitor as i already had one.

Sell your current one?! didnt you just recently got most of the parts?

 

[sparkz]

Too many to remember exactly. Probably around 30+ if I include work and friends!

I used to like to make my own so I could have the fastest available. The ones I use for my work tend to be Dells which aren't bad but not usually so state of the art. For the first time in a very long time though I haven't got a home brew. Passed my last one on to my brother in law about a year ago.

The thing that makes me feel really old is the fact I got my first PC 22 years ago

Read the Sig! I built my Desktop

[daveydoom]

Yup, the one I'm typing on right now. It's about 3.5 years old now and is pretty much maxed out except for my video card. Still does what I need it to though so I won't be building a new one for a few more years. I think my wife will want a new one before me anyways...lol

 

[CITech]

Have built a few in the past, but the current one if pre-built. Thats how (and why) I developed such a wonderful relationship with the techies at MESH!

And yes, I have read lots of the MESH posts, and whilst I agree they have major problems, I would like to stick up for SOME of the tech guys and girls. They did me a good job in the end, I just had to get past the Customer Service (The joke is in the name!) department.

 

[Nobody in particular]

I built my previous PC, I was going to build my current one but I got a good deal, so I thorght why not
