Well done son!
Monday, March 17, 2008
Will built his latest computer this afternoon. The bits arrived by courier at 3pm and he had it up and running by 4-45pm. He hasn't installed any OS yet. He's going to load Windows XP (NOT Vista!) and Mac OS X Leopard (Developer) later. It's not as high spec as his main machine but then this is really just a spare which we hope Sandra will use rather than hogging my Mac. She has a laptop but, she 'doesn't like using it' - more waste of taxpayer's money (together with her new Blackberry, which never leaves the house).
Using our old keyboard and mouse, a £12 monitor bought on eBay and a free case he got from a fellow student in exchange for sorting out his network, the total costs came in at under £200 - including new fans. We should get a few quid back for the old spare parts so, all in all, a pretty inexpensive deal for a well specced (no crap parts) computer. Well done son!
