Successful Builds

Most people post when they are having problems. I’ve done that too. But this post is to say that I was successful in building 2 new home systems. And I couldn’t have done it without this forum. I followed the advice given which included choosing the best components, ones that have proven track records, so that I would not have any issues. I still had a couple of issues – but they were minor and easily solved.

I am very happy with my systems and proud of the accomplishment. I’m sort of sorry my builds are completed - I learned so much from this experience and had a ball doing it. And, my husband thinks I’m some sort of genius (shhhh – don’t tell him how easy it really is :-)

Thanks!

Jeri

Glad to hear it. It’s always nice to see someone new finding out how enjoyable and just plain satisfying it can be, to get a new computer you built yourself up and running. Not going to be signing over your soul for anymore prebuilds are ya? Enjoy your new systems.
