My New PC, Hit a Problem
Right I thought that I’d get myself a new computer to run my printers/plotters and a little bit of design work until I get my new Apple Mac for my design work……. next time i’ll take a check list
- Case – check
Motherboard – check
CPU – check
Heatsink – check
Memory – check
Hard drive – check
CD Rom to load everything – Dohhhhhhhh
I know it’s been a few years since I built a computer but come on…… :lol1:

Have you guys heard of alienskin PC’s, wanted to get into some online gaming with a friend of mine (sad I know) and this has been recommended.
It goes against the grain but this is one area I can’t use my apple for.
Any good?Jason

John what can I say
Jason, you be amazed how many online gamers there is.
I shall PM you.

John,
Should’ve bought your Mac now. 😀

If you got an IDE cable in the bag that comes with the motherboard and you have a spare mac/pc lieing about, just pinch the drive.
Once you got windows and software installed then disconnect the CD, its’ not a requirement.Vista or XP? thats the next headache!
XP can require a floppy disk on install if your using RAID or thrid party IO chipset.
Vista will possibly struggle on some stuff
Corel X3 SP2 works on Vista i hear. -

All up and and running now
It’s a PC but the only thing it’s got going for it is a Apple keyboard and mouse :lol1: :lol1:
Just went with XP to save any hassle and cos I couldn’t find my Windows 2K disk 👿 What can I say…. too many years in IT support :lol1:
P4 3.4GHz dual core and 2GB Ram so should be good enough to run my printer and plotter without the usual drag at times 😮

Hi Nigel, the worst thing with this is waiting for them to build it, it looks top quality though, I’ll just have to watch my language with my headphones on.

Hi Jason, I think it was between 2 and 3 weeks for mine, the time soon passes.
-
Nigel, what games you play?
-
Dave on my old pc it was Halo, my new toy was originally bought to play Spore, but that game has been a major let down.
Most of my online is done via the PS3 atm while looking for something new for the pc.
-
On-line PS3 has just got to be COD4! That game is the nuts…. just wish I was better at it 🙁 Fed up with getting whipped by 10 year old’s 👿 👿
Rebuilt my pc the other week after a major melt down! . Cant believe how cheap the bits are these days… Tri core Phenom processor was £60, 4 gig of memory was only £30 ish and a dvd rewrite for £15.00!! Think the whole lot came to around £240! Bargain.
-
I haven’t played online games since quake – that was on dial-up and paying per minute! I loved it and would like to get back into it but I hardly seem to have any time as it is!
