How many computers have you built?

johnmcc516 · Feb 16, 2005

This is kind of a poll. I was just wondering how many rigs everyone has put together.

1 for me. The specs in my sig are my first and only rig.

warlock110 · Feb 16, 2005

some people on here put rigs together for a living, i do it for fun, about 20 to 30 so far i must say, i stop doing it for other people because it's such a hassel, i do it for free, and when they have problem they keep calling me up (and most of the time it's because they go on the internet and look at "stuff" and catch spyware and viruses)

2. w00t! Working on my 3rd. The parts are coming in slowly but surely as I get the money. All I have left is the mobo...and the cpu + ram, powersupply...and can't forget the heatsink + fan... I guess all I do have is the case, optical, fan controller and peripherals. 74gb raptor is on the way though. w00t!

*technically* Ive built atleast a dozen. Various brands and modles. Once you build one it only gets easier

Over 200 custom Industrial PCs for Automated Machines.
About 100 Business Servers and Personal PCs.

Best Guess I never really kept count.

Many, but that will be closer to dozen, than 300

Jas · Feb 16, 2005

crap, hundreds.

Probably in the neighborhood of 50+ personal use PCs

hundres of servers and workstations.

One for myself and 3 for friends and family.

Mr.Guvernment · Feb 16, 2005

life time- i would say, mmmmm around 30? would be a good guess.

i'm new to a lot of pc building, but the more hardware and things i add to my custom built, the better i get at it and the more i enjoy it. i've built one so far for myself, although with some of these spare parts lying around, i might build a second one for fun.

once you build one then the rest are easy

2 for myself, one for my dad and various additions to friends computers

warlock110 · Feb 16, 2005

building is easy but tweaking is hard

not all hardware are buillt equal

Sneaky · Feb 16, 2005

i put mine together over 10 times... had to take out all the crap for WC loops and other mods and junk... but other than that... 1, 2, 3, 4... i think 4 complete computers... 5 if you count me helping my friend get everything installed and running

I agree 100%... myself, about 35, thats my best guestimate.

Yea same here. I never really ever thought to keep track :-/

It sorta just "happened"

I've built 6 and they are all alive and well. Taking 2 old pieces of non-working crap and putting them together into one working system is actually more of a challenge. What you should really ask is what percentage of the systems you built fired up and worked on the first try. I still find that to be a crap shoot. (My newest rig gave me fits and wouldn't fire up till day two when I threatened it with a high powered rifle!) It sure feels good when you nail it on the first try.
