Build It, and They Will Come

As I mentioned, N is interested in building his own computer from the ground up, and a PC, no less. I've been informed that it's not necessarily cheaper to build your own, it's just that you can customize various features, and keep the door open to upgrade in the future. There is a modular aspect to the components, as well, so the machine can be upgraded over time. It is worth noting that none of this is possible with a Mac.

The nice thing about this is that mom is on board. She has an interest in doing some multimedia stuff, and is in need of a stronger, faster computer than her laptop. Plus, as we are all learning, Macs are just limited in many ways, something N would be more than happy to agree with.

So N has been on a bit of a buying spree, getting various parts to build his machine. Some have even arrived, and he's slowly putting them together. It's pretty impressive stuff, at least for an old guy like me, who would never in his life think to actually build a computer. People from my generation just don't do that kind of stuff, do they?
