CYBERPOWER Computer

[Tradewinds 12]

Cyberpower is yet another custom built computer. It looks like Cyberpower prefers to use the ASUS motherboards also, like Falcon.

building computer is easy these days.

you don't need any special tools,

or any esoteric knowledge or skills.

just buy the parts and assemble the pieces together.

This looks like an interesting model:

I want a white case when I get a new computer. Black absorbs the heat. My old computer blew out some capacitors on the motherboard from the heat. Upstairs in the summer with no AC was to much heat for it I think.

Well, . . . yes, building them isn't so hard. Line the screw up with the little hole and turn screw with screwdriver. Plug hardware into slot. Plug wires together that will only go one way. That is the easy part. Push too hard on the pins to secure the CPU and crack your motherboard. Well, that's another problem.

 

If it's a brand new hard drive, and the operating system installs without any problem, then you'll probably be okay. A lot of people return motherboards because their computer build won't start up after they've assembled it. Whether it's really a bad motherboard or not? Who knows? I thought maybe I had a bad motherboard, but it turns out it was probably the fact that I was trying to use an existing hard drive with a new motherboard and processor.

 

I still get blue screen errors on the computer I built. For the time I spent working on that computer, I could have paid for 10 computers. If time is money, that is. Maybe I just have bad luck.

nobody ever build a computer to save money.

 

you do it for the fun.

 

if you don't enjoy reading instructions, and are not up to date with computer technologies, don't do it.

if you don't enjoy the problem solving process of building a computer, don't do it.

You will waste time, and lose lots of hair.

 

 

ps. there is really no excuse for trying to connect an old disk to a new MB... ;-)>

After thinking about it, you have forced me to agree against my will. So I guess that means I derive pleasure from torturing myself :rofl:

 

if you don't enjoy reading instructions, and are not up to date with computer technologies, don't do it.

 

Oh, please! Spare us such kind and compassionate advice. I'm feeling sick to my stomach. Like eating too much sugar.

 

If you don't enjoy the problem solving process of building a computer, don't do it.

You just stated that it's done for the fun of it. Now you are saying not to do it. I don't want to build a computer. Yes you do! No, you don't! Yes, you do! No! Don't do it! I have to do it! I want to do it! Why do you do this to yourself! Because it's so much fun. :rofl:

I MUST do it! I can't help myself.
