| My PC's Name: | Paul's Computer |
| Date Built/Last Mod: | Original build 2004, overhauled April 08 when HDD failed |
| Building PCs for: | 2 to 3 years |
| Future Plans: | As it uses a Socket A CPU there's not much more I can do in terms of upgrading, apart from using an XP3200+ CPU. I'm pleased with its performance now, it's fast and very stable.
Eventually I'd like to build the next one from scratch, and then keep this as a backup machine. |
