trackrat Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yeah, but building your own is much more fun! Did one myself recently :DTheir is nothing like the satisfaction of building your first computer especially when it works when you switch it on.Congratulations Mark, is this the start of a drain on your wallet.Once you have built one there are so many tempting parts to buy to upgrade with.
