Simple Idea. Post your computer(s) specs.
Homebuilt/bought?
I have 3 that see almost everyday use. Another waiting for a HD to be a HTPC. 5 others (complete) and a old laptop that dont get used anymore. And a few partials, plus a few box loads of parts.
Main PC
Antec Plusview1000amg case (w/6 case fans[4 LED])
MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 2800+
512MB Kingston PC3200 Ram
6GB IBM Bigfoot HD (main)
5x160 Maxtor HD’s (4x7200rpm,8mb 1x5400,2mb)
Khypermedia 48x24x48 CD-RW
NEC ND-2500 8x DVD-+RW
Cheap gf2 Video Card
“SERVER”

Abit NF7-s Rev. 2 Motherboard

Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 128 MB 8X AGP

“Portable Box”

The Portable Box gets the most use, because mainly I lounge around in bed before I go to sleep or after I wake up. Better than sitting at a desk all day when you can just pop your knees up in bed and surf the web. But the HTPC is pimp, too.

Hey I was wanting to learn more about computer hardware building and parts, because I want to build my own comp and i have friends that want me to build them comps. My current level of knowlage, is well Im able to put in a new power supply, and I can pop in usb/firewire ect cards. Is there like a training corse on the net for this, or lilke can someone teach me some stuff? :?
