“In an earlier article, we talked about building a
machine from scratch insofar as we looked at where I actually
purchased my components from. There was some question as to whether
everything would work together, as there always is when you buy the
video card one place, the RAM from another, the motherboard and cpu
from another and so on and so forth.

What one person learns is the basis for what another person
might do. That is why i am writing this, to let you know what my
experience was.

…In that article, I gave an overview of what my goals were
with this system, what type of things that I was interested in
doing. I still am interested in doing those things and still intend
to but I thought it would be nice just to focus on the hardware
building side of things.”
