I'm getting pretty disgusted with Dell and HP.
Have been programming for 40 years. Have decent mechanical skills. Not an engineer.
Have taken out disk drives, floppies and batteries.
I generally feel that I could assemble a PC, if I could get past the nightmare of what and
where to buy the parts.
A friend of mine had his PC built locally. In my opinion he got a piece of junk. They put
crappy parts in the PC. Didn't give him a OS disk and no way to restore his computer
when it failed. They also went out of business.
The question, I guess, is should I even attempt this? Seems like I could buy the wrong parts
or bad parts or not compatible parts. In other words a nightmare..... Might wind up costing
me more to learn what to do than buying one.
I don't need a new one yet but I have some time to do some thinking and learning.
I guess what would help me a lot is a book on building your own computer for Dummies.
Nothing is ever easy....
