I have built many computers and helped many
other build theirs. The hardest part is where and what parts to buy, since
the main goal to is to save money. Just some examples of the money you can
save is I configured an AMD Athlon XP system at
Alienware, it cost about 1500.. Then
using the EXACT SAME parts (slightly different monitor) I could have built
it at $750.. for a savings of $750. I hope you find this helpful, and in the
near future I hope to post reviews that I personally perform on parts, buy
my own web space, and post they most reliable online and LOCAL
places to shop for parts!
Cool non-computer fact:

6-23-3 AMD new releases
AMD's new
core called the "Barton" looks to be a good buy. Athlon XP 2500+ and up
(except 2600) use this new core. AMD may have over named their new cpus a
bit. The 3200+ does not come close to out performing the new Intel 3.06 GHZ
Pentium 4. Newegg is my new favorite
place to buy computer components. They are cheap and a reliable source.
Right now the best CPU for your money is the Athlon XP 2500+ "Barton"
currently $92 at Newegg. Soon I hope to
start over-clock my computer with a water cooling system. I'll keep you up
to date.

I am ordering parts for another computer today/tomorrow. Ram prices have
fallen dramatically in the past few months. (50% drop). Intel is shipping a
chip with an 800 Mhz FSB. That is amazing. I added some graphics card
reviews. More should be coming soon. Athlon Hammer has yet to be released. I
think they are shooting for November. That should be a sweet chip. I hope
everyone is enjoying this website and finding it helpful.
1-7-3 UP and
Running
Today I started this webpage dedicated to Computers, Custom Computers. It
will grow fast and I hope you book mark us, as it is a valuable resource.
Right now the Reviews and Prices are combined in the Review Section. The
Motherboard Reviews are somewhat up. More will come in the coming days.
Thanks for your support! I put up My Computer with the components of my very
own computer as a model!
