At least he shares my opinion of VIA and ATI!
Cuss and discuss.

And what do you have when you are finished building your own PC? Another
boring, virus susceptible Windows box. Yawn!

Yes, but take a few moments and go through the tutorial anyway. It's
worth a few clicks.

I posted my instructions for a similar machine... mine was even more cost
effective and had higher stats...
poor shopping skills on your part it seems...

I can assure you that the PC using the Dr. Ashen methodology is NOT
susceptible to modern software viruses.

Silly me, this is what I get for posting late at night after a long
Saturday sports car drive. The sentence should have read:
"And what do you have when you are finished building your own PC
(unless, of course, it's doctor Ashen's ;->)? Another boring, virus
susceptible Windows box. Yawn!"
Dr. Ashen's box is definately NOT a Windows PC. It certainly is more
pleasant to use than a Windows box, and ultimately, you can get just as
much work done on it.

Yeah, it's funny. And the resultant PC is just as useful as any Windows
box.

But it's cheap and that's what really matters with PC users, so it must
be, by that virtue, a better value than anything else out there.

After extensive research I found some prices:
Cardboard box from dumpster: free
Crayons from local Red Robin: free
My time to draw on box: priceless
Ok, my new computer:
- never crashes
- can be loaded with any software (I found a pretty big box)
- has no issues with waking from sleep
- can be easily upgraded (just draw a new drive or whatever on it)
- has no reported bugs or virus's
- is quiet
- uses NO power
- generates NO heat
- requires little training
- even after hours of non-use, is fully functional is less than one second
- uses time-tested, standards-based technology
Sounds like the stats on my new computer are better than any PC, AND it is
cheaper!
