Playing with my new computer

I have my new computer build running great and am now doing more advanced things like "overclocking" the CPU and RAM and GPU. These terms mean nothing to most but some of you know what I'm talking about. I didn't get the fastest CPU made so.....I am making it faster by changing certain settings in the BIOS. (among other methods) I have squeezed about 35% more speed out of my CPU (the brain of the computer) therefore getting more bang for my buck (so to speak) Plus, it's a lot of fun. There's a lot more to learn so I had better go read my motherboard manual and read overclocking guides on the internet. haha I somehow knew I would be like this some day (a nerd) but whatever floats your boat....

I built a computer!

I have been into computers for years. I love tinkering with them and using them in general. I have been ordering parts one or two at a time for a few months and reading about how to build and configure a computer. I have been interested in computers since my dad got an Apple IIc when I was about 10 years old. I remember sitting at that computer for hours typing in code! I'll bet he forgot about that. Anyway, I got my last parts last week and just finished building it. I am "stress testing" the CPU right now. It's a great feeling to build something I will use for years. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.
