allthetimeonline's PC Profile

I was hooked the first time I took a side panel off to get inside. Really getting tired of outdated and slow socket 7's I decided to devise one of my own. So with Income Tax Refund I started buying components. Im in the infancy stage when it comes to computing, especially when it applies to internal functioning there is so much thats just "Greek" to me that it can be overwhelming. Im just scratching the surface and I feel it everytime I get to looking at anything up close and I cant help feeling a bit more ignorant than I care to be. Oh Well I guess an infant takes baby steps to get where he's going, so I will too.
