Default RE: What other hobbies do you have?

I like to shoot guns, but haven't had the ability lately. Back problems--don't think my back will enjoy the kick from a 12ga while shooting clays.

I also like goofing around with computers. I've built a couple. The one I'm using now is probably outdated to some of you, but it's got a 3.0ghz P4 CPU w/Hyper Threading Technology and 800mhz FSB. It's sitting on a Gigabyte board with 800mhz FSB and Hyper Threading Technology. 2 gigabytes of DDR 400 PC3200 Ram. Thermal Take heat sink with 6 heat risers on a 2700RPM fan. Keeps my CPU around 40c at idle and 60c under a heavy load. Not bad for a Prescott core. 680W power supply. Pretty decent video card with 256MB of ram and a 256bit interface with 400mhz clock speed. Could be better--but it works. Windows XP Pro.

I'm scrounging parts for my wifes' computer right now. It will also have a Gigabyte board and HT Tech. with 800mhz FSB. But, I only got her a 2.0ghz Celeron CPU. I got 1 gigabyte of ram for hers, and a standard heat sink. I'm looking for a decent graphics card right now. I just got the 500W powewr supply the other day.

I just need a couple more things and then I can slap that baby together and she will quit downloading every stupid screensaver and background pic into MY computer. GAWD those things reek havoc on an OS!! When she screws hers up with all those downloads and internet spam--I'll show her how to fix it----------ONCE. If she don't learn her lesson--she can deal with the slow speeds and crashes that happen when you download all that cr*p.[>:]

I'm a geek.[sm=bananahead.gif] I know it.
