Hi 'Mech peeps,
Since my trusty ol' PC died last week (can't complain after 4+ yrs service I guess), I have spent several nights trawlin' the net with a view to replacing it. It just occurred to me I've been reading various threads at PCmech for so long I no longer have idea how I got here, at least 3/4 hrs *chuckle. Y'all seem to be a friendly and knowledgeable bunch, so I figured I'd register an' pick yer brains.
I have been looking around for a site to build me a PC, though looking around here buildin' my own does look fun. I know enuf to know I know jack-all. Prolly not enuf to to start asking serious questions so for now I'm saying, "hi" the questions will follow (think I'll spend some more time reading previous posts.. tomorrow.. my head has hit saturation point for now).
With that said, I welcome any suggestions regarding where to start learning. I'm in the fortunate position (?) of having too much time on my hands atm. A noob I maybe, but I like to think fairly quick to take things onboard. Oh, and while newegg.com does seem a nifty site they don't export outside the US/Peurto Rico, and alternatives for a humble Brit?
My compliments to those that started this site and continue to keep it so healthy.
B seein' yer
luv Gore.
