Really four hours,
I'm 19 and me and the techs had races, I was able to build the system, including screws and a unopend case in 14 minutes.
all the jumpers all the lights and the cablings, harddrive, disk vid and sound, ram
that is fun. Make good use of the old anti static ground strap ;-)

My voice is my passport, Verify me.
JF - What are you doing when I start on mine?
14 minutes - awesome https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
OK I'm loosing it here, bistro https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I saved the picture, brought it up in Irfanview and changed it to a bmp then opened in Paintshop and magnified. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I can see where things connect, and where the processor will be.
Hehe It was fun. I resigned that position.
but definatly if you want a powerful economical system I would recommend the Thunderbird.

OK JF, will look at it. Thanks :0 Later
Yup...14 minutes of work and ...voila! A Packard Bell.... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

I was just wondering if he worked at the HP factory!
Could it have have been Mosaic's !! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
No, no....HPs take a half an hour to build...with a 20 minute coffee break.
(Ow! Ow! How long is this blasting gonna go on? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ )
Hey, (a bit off-topic) we were just talking here at work about the latest and greatest viruses that are floating around. It amazes me how many folks are getting hit with the Navidad and KAK worm lately. I'm not bragging here..but the first and last time I ever got a virus on my system was 2 years ago--and I download tons of files off the Net and have a lot of email. Why don't folks keep their virus definitions up to date and scan their e-mail? It's not hard and it'll save a lot of grief. It's the Second Commandment of The Law of Computers for gosh sakes. (The first one being don't let your relatives mess with your computer).

In ref to my post above, got a few tips that have been useful--no big deals, but they help:
1. Update your AV every 3-4 days--takes only a few minutes--which is less time to have to eradicate some viruses.
2. Set your AV to scan e-mail and especially attachments automatically. Which leads us to ....
3. Never totally trust the automatic feature https://discussions.virtualdr.com/...manually scan all e-mail and attachments anyway. Just takes a few secs.
4. To keep track of any downloaded and/or "I'll get back to you" files, make a folder under C:\. Call it "Hold", "Wait Here", "I Dunno About This", whatever.
Set your browser or download program to send all d'ld files to that directory--put a shortcut to that folder in your "Send To" folder also. Then, when you're ready, you can scan all the files in there before using/executing them (with an UPDATED virus scanner).
5. Make sure you have all the Security Updates/patches for your OS and browser/email program--check often.
6. Do #1 through #5
Now, no AV program I've seen is absolutely 100%. It's close to impossible to keep up with every virus, worm and variants that crop up every week. One could sneak through
anyway despite your efforts. Oh well. Just make sure you are doing your part and your system will stay clean. (I have a neighbor here, that despite what I've told him over and over again, keeps getting hit. I finally told him that "he's on his own"--got tired of telling him something he didn't want to do anything about----aren't I mean? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/).
OK...I'm down from the mountain now...next!

greengoose1:
The reason I asked if you planned on using a scanner is, you should have as a minimum of 128MB of RAM installed on your machine.
I use Hotmail, not outlook, and unless I have had an undetectable virus, I have not seen one in my computer. I do not open any e-mail that is not recognized.
Mosaic's computer, HP, seems a little concerned today about something. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Thanks for that one sdtech. As you have probably noticed what may be simple to some has heretofore been unknown to me. And I love to ask questions. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Levels the field somewhat. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I did not know I could make a new "send to " in that folder ! WOW ! I thought I was stuck with what choices were on the menu !
Thanks bistro ! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I always scan attachments even if it's from MOM because some virussessss have been known to sneak in to address contacts and send to everyone in there, so it'll look like it comes from someone you know. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
