Re: New Custom Built Computer
I can build one and ship it out to virtually any location and to anyone who wants one via FedEx or Postal service. If I have to ship out the cost goes up to take care of shipping, notice I didn't include the word, "Handling"? All I ask is that the money come up front.
I've had three builds where I'm still trying to collect and one case where I ended up eating the cost of an ATI/Saphire 256MB Graphics card one "friend" wanted installed that I ordered after a verbal comittment then she backed out leaving me holding this card. It's now in my 17-year old boy's computer (the first one I built) along with a P4 running 3.06Ghz on an overclocked Soyo Motherboard hitting the full FSB speed of 800mhz. His is a work in progress computer as is mine but his is fast approaching hard core gaming status.
I'm not a computer expert, as a matter of fact if you dig deep enough on this website, you'll find my original post regarding my first build for one of my kids just inside 2-years ago.
When I first built my first computer, I picked up virtually every computer magazine on Border's shelves and began reading them over and over again. Even if I didn't understand what the hell I was reading I kept reading them until finally pieces of information from different articles started making sense like PC3200 RAM is the same as DDR400 and is faster than PC2700 RAM. And stuff like Socket 478 vs Socket A Mobo's and the kinds of processors that will work with them.
Once I had a clear understanding of what the heck all that meant (and it's all terminology) I was ready for my first build based on a simple Barebones kit from Soyo. The motherboard, power supply, CD-ROM and Floppy drives were already mounted in a case. The included Celeron-D processor/heatsink had to be installed along with the memory sticks and hard drive that I had to buy separately. When I fired it up for the first time, nothing happened and my dreams of building my first computer came crashing to a halt. Then I read the mobo manual and realized I had to reset the BIOS by jumping pins 2 and 3 while unplugging the powersupply. On bootup the system came alive POSTing to the part when I had to install an OS. Success!
Every build after that was a learning experience to the point where I've built over 20 computers for people (from scratch) and repaired countless others in the past 2-years from computer ignorant to somewhat literate, enough to build solid computers at cost for anyone I come across.
My work ethic comes from my good friend Speedex who built computers for me and worked on my cars for the cost of parts only in the past, now that I know how to build computers, I pass on that knowledge for free.
BTW last week was Speedex's dad's funeral at Hawaiian Memorial Cemetary and it was an honor for me when he asked me to do the Eulogy. I owe a lot of my work ethic to Speedex and his late father.
