Well,
I'm not sure where my normal holiday scroogey-ness went but I was planning to build a machine for a family member for xmas and they just got a laptop so I was gonna do something else when my pops was telling me bout the hard times a family friend was going through--
Young family that have 2 handicap children, one with mild cerebral palsy, and the other has some learning disabilities, the parents both work but, like alot of us struggle to make ends meet and have added challenge of children who need a bit of extra care.
I then heard that the kids didn't have a computer because the parents budget is just so tight and had to use a slow, crappy, old laptop with a tiny screen---so the answer became obvious.
I am finishing up a few upgrades on my x48 build, adding some learning software and games and delivering to them for xmas--this weekend!
Ohh--and we're giving them a new Westinghouse 1080p 42" tv so the kids can see their games and 'homework' really well.
I feel like Ty freakin' Pennington!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On another note--my i7 build, being a demo, was taken from me for a customer!!
...
So, I have a new dilemma...
What do I build next?
Another core2
core2 quad
another i7?
?
