Ok, so what I have for you is the introduction teaser for my new and first proper project, and I require from you kind people a name for it
Introduction
I feel the project requires a bit of an introduction. Having built my first PC from parts only a couple of months ago, the bug has hit! Having spent many a day on the forums now, I've decided to start a new project! With both me and my fiancee at University and making the most of dual screens, I've decided to build her a base spec pc capable of meeting her requirements as her laptop's struggling to power the dual screens for internet browsing/office/iTunes and the light multi-tasking that she does. Now having just spent a fortune, especially for a student, on the last build there's not much money floating around for the new build! The challenge is slightly steeper with a bit of history, as I've spent my life doing next to no DIY! Managing to get a D in GCSE graphics. The most I've really done is the recent flat pack I've assembled (at 19) and frankly I've decided it is time for this to change! As such, and partially inspired by G-Dubs' Car Boot Project I took a trip down to the local car boot today... Thing is though, going to the local car boot (and the largest one in the county) all I could find was one computer with nothing to it's name, and frankly even the case wasn't worth getting it... So I went for a local trip to the Bay... £50(ish) later and I've got some old P4 HP, which should be in the post tomorrow, and arriving soon
But yeah, the same basic theme, of picking up parts dirt cheap off of the Bay/MM/car boots and building a PC that does the basic requirements. Going to customise the case to be a nice pretty case for the gf.
Going to keep everything else under the mat for now so we can see how it goes But yeah a similar Dubs-esque kind of idea - all credit where it's due, and I'll be relying on basically all of the OCUK expertise, to make sure I get out of it the other side with a working pc, 10 fingers and 10 toes
Anyway, yeah, need ideas for the name really
Going to be a very bright colour scheme Just so you know Going to be very much similar to the TealC revolution, but with a slightly different colour scheme
But yeah, any ideas for names would be much appreciated!
