I've decided to get a new computer since mine is the equivelent to a gameboy color. But I dont know what to get or how to get it.

What I mean by that is I dont know if I should just buy a brand new computer, build my own computer, or have someone else build my computer because I wont know what the hell I'm doing. The most thing I've done to my computer is installed a video card.

I dont need anything too fancy. Money isn't really an issue but I dont want it to be too expencive either :?. I'm paying for this with my own money.

I'm going to be searching some websites now.

What would satisfy my likings more?

-Buy new comp
-Build comp
-Pay someone to build comp

Brian has the EXACT same certifications as you.

EDIT: But you probably know how more about computers than him.

Building a computer really isnt that hard.

If you really dont have a clue then when u get all ur parts practice on taking apart ur old computer to see where each part goes. all you really need help on doing is finding out which wires connect to which which isnt too hard since they fit in the right connector

Yea, you'll need to solder some few parts. Change the Light Emitting Diodes and change some capacitors. It would be great if you added PNP switches too. It would be 1337 if it had an IR module.
