They're (son & friends) buildin' a new computer for me! 4 core processor from AMD, wire-less with giga-ram and laser mouse and the monitor is an HD TV! No more eye strain for me...now the U-tube tutorials I can really see! Extreme gamers, these guys play their roles on the world wide web. They're on top of the market for performance and lowest cost, and foes of big Dell and HP. Who can build faster and cheaper than they? Everything is plug-in and play. No more solder and wires in the way. What a difference from what was state of the art in my day!

DPW [ Everything has limitations and I hate limitations.]

Cost: $550.00 + HDTV

 

They're doing it because it's fun and they want to game on it
Wait till you see the bill for that

 

I built almost all of my computers, except my laptop. Once you learn how to it is very rewarding. Especially given the fact that most of the hardware can be trashpicked. Someone gave me an almost new motherboard complete with AMD FX-62 dual core processor and 9800 GT graphics card. It is just about a year and a bit old and it plays almost any game you throw at it.
