Hi there, I'm new to this forum so please don't flame..err..insult me.

Actually, I'm 13, and I want to build my own pc..
Well, I have the choice of buying one..but i really want to build it myself, so its easier to upgrade and stuff, BUT my mom won't let me, she said she doesn't trust me to build one, and if it would work or not, so she doesnt want me to waste like 2000 dollars if the computer doesn't work and i screw it up or something...
so, i was wondering if you guys can help me, IF youhave any spare parts that you dont want or just lying around, and you dont know what to do with it? send it to me! it can be a motherboard,soundcard, cd drive, hardrive, anything would help, it can be as slow as a 75mhz or 4 mb ram, or a 1ghz hardrive, i dont care, i jsut need some parts and then when i get enough, ill like buy some cheap weak stuff to build a computer, and if i actually do make it work, my mom would give me ...err..i dont wanna tell ya how much cuz you might try to ripe me off by selling me stuff for a lot more then it cost, to pay for my dream machine.../me drools..anything u got is fine...

Also, for a beginner builder like me, what kind of motherboard should i get? i thought the abt kt7 was good, but then i saw a post saying its hard to use or something, so...any easy boards to work with...

another question is there any booooks or websites you guys reocmmend to help me build a comptuer...


Im posting this topic to all the forum places...like hardware, motherboard, all of them cuz i dont know exactly where this fits...so dont yell at me or something, just delete it if u want....

Well if you actually read all this, i say thank you because this was kinda long...thanks for taking your time out of your life and into mine =)!!

<< a 1ghz hardrive >>



[dr. Evil] RiiiighT [/dr. Evil].



I was once in that position, and ended building a 486 that worked!
Parents saw that I could do it, and got some cash, built a rig, then sold it cause I got a an HP Pavilion for Xmas which was faster than what I built so I said f*ck it, keep the HP.


In other words, go for it.
