Now that I am done building my pool, I want to tackle new project, one that frightens me even more - building my own computer.
I have a 1998 Computer w/ an Intel Celeron. I run Win98, 2ed. I think my HD is 10GB.
I have a cable modem.
Here's what I want - a computer that is quick on the web, where the damn screen doesn't take a second or two to recognize my keystroke, a CD burner, disk drives - floppy, media card reader, etc.....
Any recommendations?
I know I have to get a case, motherboard, processor w/fan & heat sink....
What operating system do you recommend?
I have heard good things about Win 2000 Pro
Monitors - flat screen vs regular...
I maybe want to drop $750 +/- into this....no idea though
I have decent speakers right now
I have a printer/scanner/copier right now (Thanks Ryan for the trouble shooting!)
I have a crappy cordless keyboard
Any & all help would be greatly appreciated.
I probably want the capability of good gaming, running spreadsheets, downloading photos from a camera, & various other things.
Nothing too crazy
I want to save some of the stuff on my current hard drive -do I make it a slave? If so, how do I do that?
I got ths info but personal input is great!
