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 1160 Views
The advantages of building your own computer seem to be smaller these days. lord-of-shadow - 02/05/2011 05:19:09 PM 921 Views
I take satisfaction in tinkering with computers... LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 06:40:12 PM 1267 Views
Also, one of the big savings for building your own computer... lord-of-shadow - 02/05/2011 07:27:37 PM 938 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 926 Views
It's not hard at all anymore. Link for Lorraine, too Jragghen - 02/05/2011 09:32:48 PM 1047 Views
I always buy Intel. Papa works there LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 09:39:00 PM 1006 Views
Huh, small world. What site? Jragghen - 02/05/2011 10:36:55 PM 1137 Views

small world or large company? *NM* Foxhead - 03/05/2011 10:48:11 AM 504 Views
Both? *NM* Bergioyn - 03/05/2011 02:35:57 PM 477 Views
I don't know about you... Fox and Ravens - 02/05/2011 08:21:41 PM 981 Views
And you would have been getting a Dell. *NM* Ghavrel - 03/05/2011 03:27:44 AM 514 Views
Truth *NM* Fox and Ravens - 03/05/2011 04:38:36 AM 491 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 479 Views
Build it. Aemon - 03/05/2011 02:54:12 PM 1095 Views

How? Aemon - 03/05/2011 05:04:27 PM 908 Views
Re: How? lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 06:47:56 PM 885 Views
Wow, I never heard about that. Aemon - 03/05/2011 07:10:07 PM 948 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 875 Views
Yeah, I meant the power supply of the problem machine. Aemon - 03/05/2011 08:10:04 PM 926 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 513 Views
I like how you seem to think I'd buy a Dell LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 04:17:58 PM 930 Views
lol, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. Aemon - 03/05/2011 04:37:18 PM 962 Views
At this point, I'm looking at building thanks to papa LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 04:59:07 PM 928 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 902 Views
#1 reason to build your own: no pre-loaded bloatware. *NM* Macharius - 03/05/2011 04:52:45 PM 493 Views
It's a plus, but I'm not sure about #1. Aemon - 03/05/2011 05:26:29 PM 926 Views
Re: It's a plus, but I'm not sure about #1. Macharius - 04/05/2011 02:14:20 PM 903 Views
Or just format when you get it. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 06:48:47 PM 475 Views
With a pre-built you can't often do that. Aemon - 03/05/2011 07:19:28 PM 931 Views
for the record, sometimes stores will remove the bloatware for you LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 07:28:58 PM 864 Views
They say they do. Aemon - 03/05/2011 07:46:19 PM 913 Views
Do prebuilts come without OS discs these days? That's bullshit. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 07:43:39 PM 497 Views
Yah, they don't. LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 07:47:36 PM 895 Views
Well, it's understandable, just annoying. Aemon - 03/05/2011 08:05:00 PM 891 Views
You really should just stop using Dell as your example LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 10:51:10 PM 872 Views
Oh, hush. Aemon - 04/05/2011 12:50:15 AM 1054 Views
YOU SHALL NOT MALIGN THE HP!!! LadyLorraine - 04/05/2011 10:16:50 AM 904 Views
Re: YOU SHALL NOT MALIGN THE HP!!! Aemon - 04/05/2011 04:55:49 PM 955 Views
huh. fair enough! *NM* LadyLorraine - 04/05/2011 05:43:19 PM 441 Views
My anecdotal evidence has HP failures being rare but spectacular. Ghavrel - 04/05/2011 08:19:52 PM 907 Views
I had a Compaq laptop (built after HP had bought Compaq). Aemon - 04/05/2011 09:13:54 PM 880 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 873 Views
Yes, almost without exception. Aemon - 03/05/2011 07:58:32 PM 1041 Views
I think build your own L0gan - 17/05/2011 07:55:30 PM 1319 Views
Have you made your decision yet? Two Wongs - 28/05/2011 02:19:36 AM 1055 Views
I'm going to be building one with my dad LadyLorraine - 01/06/2011 02:42:35 AM 842 Views
