New PC - March 2010

I got all of the parts for the new PC on Thursday.

Well, all but the most important part ...I forgot the operating system ...DUH!

Now I have to wait and stare at this pile of parts until the OS gets here on Monday ...boo hoo

I'm excited to build this PC with the boys. They had no idea that you could "build your own" PC.

They keep asking me "who makes this PC, Dell, HP, etc?" It makes me happy to tell them "no, we are making this PC, thats who".

Here's the full list of what we're building from newegg.com:

PC must haves

I had my laptop wiped and fresh OS image installed today. Here is my list of default stuff that I simply can't live without and stuff that I always customize.

It's like getting into a car, you have to adjust the mirrors, tune the radio, and move the seat before you drive any car.

  • Change desktop wallpaper to 'None'
  • Set Desktop color to 'Black'
  • Set screen saver to 'Blank'
  • Set screen saver time to 60 minutes
  • Set mouse pointer speed to whatever the highest is
  • Use Internet Explorer to download Firefox

Download and install:
