    Well done for building the first of many :thumb: .(trust me when i say 1 is never enough)

    When i finsihed the first ever build it was but a year ago. Spent ages sourcing components, comparing manufacturers and generally wasting hours surfing online shops for that extra 50p off. To see it finally completed created much pride on my part and since then i've made sourced and made another 20+ for friends or more recently all my uni flatmates who were sick of goin to the clusters. Hopefully this will inspire you to show others and save them some money and save them buying dell's.

    when i was 12 i bought a custom made pc from some shop(top of the range of that time) and guess whats the first thing i did with it..........................................i brought it home and opened it up :rock: and started modding. My bro has been playing with pc's since the age of 13 (pentium 1 times..lolz :D ) and now he's 25 and i know a lot more than him and got a better pc than him. :rock:

    Why is everyone over boasting on this thread about how many computers they have built? Who cares?

    Well done to tigra!

    I must admit my 1st pc build was a bit daunting, but its great when you 1st boot it up!

    Well Done Tigra! :rock:

    It's a pissin contest!!! I'm celebrating building my 10,000th machine!

    But in all reality, I'm 21 now and I believe I was age 10 or 11 when I finally got to build my own pc. Yeah, it was a 386, but hey, it ran blake stone rather well I believe. I don't remember the mhz, I just remember that after that I replaced the board with a 486dx2 80! woohooo!!!! with 36-pin ram and all, I think they had EDO by then.

    Remember when 4 megs of ram cost over $150? Woohoo! top of the line baby!

    And I still have a vintage 40mb MFM hard drive laying around. As well as an 8" floppy disk, my dad brought that home from work one day.

    Not to mention the TRS-80 with the 16k memory upgrade, the 16k board is bigger than my motherboard.

    Hey, back on topic, I was thinking of modding my vic-20. It might decrease in value though. I probably should just mod the sinclair, that is a piece!

    Cool, good for you! I'm serious, its nice to see people not going with name brand stuff. It isn't about being so tech-savvy that you can build a crazy pc, it's just knowing the necessary procedure for assembling a PC. You can save a good bit of money doing it yourself, and if you're new to it I'm sure you learned some things while assembling the rig. GJ :)

    Building your first computer is so satisfying, cause you know you are never gonna get screwed over by the big computer companies again.
