¿Question #5314?
Lord_Prussian: Have you ever built your own computer? If so, how many have you built and what's your latest creation?

pricero1: I've had messers Hewlett and Packard to help me.
imyourskribe: Several. Maybe 5 or 6 if you count the couple I have helped friends with. I have no idea what is in my current one. I sort of don't really care anymore. I just make them and then use them until they get too slow.
Svengaard: I've done everything except put the processor into the motherboard. And got the wiring correct without cursing for several hours and calling someone over to look at it, move one wire, and have everything work.
Randy Cox: Hahahaha.
Woelf: I built SkyNet, but it didn't work. Apparently writing "skynet" on a computer case with a Sharpie isn't enough.
Spirit of 70: No.
xofour: it depends on how you define build. I've bought a case, and transfered components. I've upgraded, i've messed with just about every hardware component I understand (and a couple I just guessed at) but, I haven't built the whole thing including operating system from the ground up. crap this is wrong...look at my pants.
DHEK: Well, not really built, but more like put together from buying parts and then assembling them. I've only done that once - my current computer.
aleo09: nope.
ralpheous: nope
vampywife: i wish!
martybjsg: Yes, four. Just an Athlon 64, overclocked, with all the trimmings.
_Kael_: no-n/a
AWildEep: yes. At least 50, working on an mp3 player.
tagger418: Yes, 6, A XP Pro File Server
jjloc: no
GrimJester: Yes. Just one, I call it the analytical engine.
pattonre: Yes ... 3 ... none lately ...
HScottBuck: Yes
WalkerRedEye: nope
brainrob: No
Dorque: Yup. 1. Smouldering pile.
mrspank: Yes... and I desperately need to upgrade so I'm not answering part two.
netfilterz: No.
puffinge: wouldn't that be geekish?
xlorp: AWESOM-O
Kazin: Yes. I don't have time to list all the components...
tolendante: Yes. Seven or Eight. I'm behind the times--a 2.4 ghz P4 Northwood
bigbadsteve: not yet, but i have looked into it before
skrutsch: no
Bearcat89: Non.
GilvanBlight: Yes and no. I have worked with someone building one piece by piece but most assebmly was done in shop. I have replaced upgraded many components my self over the years. What is it, its sad, its a PIII 500... which actually seeing as it started as a 486 years ago and I just kept tinering isn't bad.
dakarp: nope
djlg: Yes. About 8. A piece of crap made out of obsolete spare parts.
POvidiusNaso: Nope.
MisterCranky: I built one out of a tuna can and some dental floss.
GeminiWeb: no
Lord_Prussian: Yes, 2 or 3, but I haven't built one for several years. The one I'm using is an Athlon 1.3 Thunderbird, 512 Ram, Sapphire Radeon 9600XT 128meg, etc. It still works fine after a recent harddrive failure, so I'm not seeing any need to build one right now.
chaddyboy_2000: Nope.
jttm: Many times. P4 3Ghz.
skelebone: I have put together several computers, out of price necessity rather than performance, but my latest creation is broken.
CDRodeffer: Yes, many. I've built (or rather, chosen the components for and assembled) all our company's computers for the past 10 years, and my own for ten years before that. The most recent is just a Windows 2000 workstation.
CortexBomb: I haven't, though I have participated in the building of my last box. I also routinely add/remove stuff to it, so I'm not completely CPU impaired
