And So It Begins

A week ago I was asking for PC construction guidance. Thanks to all my readers who pointed me at good information about putting together your own PC. I have learned much this week. Strange how fast things get going sometimes.

Mike came in to my office yesterday morning to tell me about a great deal in the Fry's newspaper insert - as a result I dashed over at lunch and picked up a ECS K7S5A motherboard bundled with an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ CPU for a mere $99.99. By the end of the day I had also purchased a 40 GB hard drive and a CD burner, and today I ordered some DDR RAM and a video card.

All that remains to be purchased is a case, a KVM switch, and some thermal grease for the CPU fan.
