Hey Guys,
I'm in year 9 and i have exams tommorow and friday (not looking forward to it)
Then i'm off to Fiji


Then on school holidays.
Now onto what i wanted to say
Next term we have to do a project by ourselves. This is called PB, Personal Best. And i have decided to build myself a computer. I have a good one, but i thought that i would built a sort of server.... but then i thought i would build myself a new computer and then use my current PC for the server, well sort of server.
How i'm going to fund it is by doing a Junior school (Prep to 4) / Middle School (5 to 8) disco. I will charge $5.00AU for entry and you get a packet of chips and drink. I'll hopefully get the drink + chips donated by the major company. With the money i will build my new computer and upgrade my current one.
All i'm going to keep from my current system is:
What i'm thinking is:
What i'm currently thinking of:
I'm going to MSY Computers. This is their price list.
I need recommendation on:
My current computer
Hope you understand what i'm going to do.
Thanks Cohen
Edit - Depends on how many kids i get for the disco... i'm talking about $1000 + or - a bit. But as cheap as possible. The rest of the money i might buy an IPOD
or donate to the school.
