[Alex_B]

getting myself a new computer for dealing with all my scans and images from digital

Cannot wait to assemble it from the pieces!

Are the couriers round your way that bad then?

>;o))

 

[(Ghastly) Krueger]

Pieces?

Congrats!
Care to show off the specs?

My home PC is spiraling downwards... hope I could afford a new one.

 

[Alex_B]

well, some of the pieces are not that easy to get

got the things ordered from 3 different shops to get a good price for each component.

Thing is, if you say "pieces"... sounds like it was smashed... at least to me.

Nah...I knew what he meant. He's just tryin to say he ordered each part of the computer and he's building it himself, rather than buying an already put together computer like a Dell or an HP.

I fully intend to do that with my next computer.

I also understood... I meant that the wording can lead to some jests... which are now of course ruined

Agreed wholeheartedly. I've not bought a complete PC yet (at least not from a manufacturer). You learn awhole bunch and you might actually end up with what you want. Recommended!

Yes, they do! Newegg is actually also where I got my camera two years ago! And where I recently got my hard drive and my DVD burner.

I love building computers...I thin by now I've built 7 for me, family, friends, etc...
So much fun!

I've never bought a prebuilt system for myself.

Building your own mans that you get what software you want on it and it works how you want it.

none of that pre-build BS for me thankyouverymuch.
