My First Attempt at Building a Computer

August 30, 2007 by Phil Gons

Due to some problems I was having with my three-year-old Dell Inspiron 5150, I decided to get a new computer. Instead of buying from Dell or elsewhere, I ended up building my own computer from scratch. I purchased all the individual components, assembled them, installed the OS and drivers, and then installed all my software. I thought I’d share my experience as a first-time builder for those of you who have considered doing the same thing.

Hardware

Here are the components I purchased:

  • $97 Motherboard: EVGA nForce 650i Ultra 775 T1 (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $165 CPU: Intel C2D E6320 1.86MHz (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $134 RAM: 4GB (4x1GB) of OCZ Gold DDR2-800 PC2-6400 (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $66 GPU: MSI GeForce 7600 GS 256MB w/ Dual DVI (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $234 HD: 2x 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $40 PSU: Antec Neo HE 500w (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $0 Case: Ultra Wizard Mid-Tower ATX Case (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $0 Fans: 2x 120mm Powmax Typhoons (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $42 DVD-RW: Lite-On 20X (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)

$778 total (includes shipping and after rebates)

Great Deal on Acer 22″ Widescreen

May 16, 2007 by Phil Gons

Acer 22″ Widescreen MonitorSeveral months ago I bought an external keyboard for my laptop because I was getting really sore wrists and arms from being lazy and letting my arms rest on the laptop. The edges were pressing into my arms and making them sore and numb. The external keyboard along with a wrist rest fixed that problem but created another one. In order to use my keyboard, I had to push my laptop back an additional foot or so. As a result, I was consistently getting headaches from straining to read the screen.
