That great feeling - Computer complete!!!
You know that feeling, come on, most of you will have been there. You've decided not to purchase a complete computer system, but rather hand pick all you're own components. You have a plan, but that good old thing called cash usually stops you going out and buying everything at once.

Then, probably after many months, you at last complete your final purchase.
You know full well that your system maybe isn't top of the range, even if it is you know that within a month or two it no longer will.
You place that final piece of hardware together, maybe even do one more wipe and OS re-install and then you're there!!
You can sit back and enjoy your own work, you can be proud, you have a system you are happy with and it's all been done by you making choices not some system builder.
Yes, this probably pointless message is leading somewhere, I've hit that point.
After an OS re-installation last night I'm sat at my PC that's just had it's final piece of hardware added and I'm feeling happy!!
I know it's not the very best - but it's all my own work!
