Computer Construction Project COMPLETE!
May 1, 2007. A milestone date. I completed the construction of my first computer. This is actually the seventh computer that I own at my tenth year of owning a computer.Building a computer is a significant event for any computer geek. However, I will not run the machine until I pick up a power surge protector/uninteruptable power supply (PSP/UPS).
If your house does that "dimming" thing whenever the air condition turns on, or if your neighborhood is vunerable to power outages frequently, a do not use a cheap PSP/UPS. My recommendation would be the Tripp Lite Omni or Smart series. These many appear expensive, but you can get them for about half price on eBay.
I hope to start using Fedora Core 7 starting May 24 completing this experiment. Currently, FC7 Test Release 4 is out right now and it should have KDE included again. GNOME is such a drab interface though it is used in many programs, but KDE is far advanced. I recall using the black or transparent status bars LOOOONG before Windows Vista used it.
Well, time to get back to work. My next journal entry will be after graduation.
