Ok, another question for you hardware gurus:

[Vasquez]

Eww unmanaged code I don't like un managed, too much re-inventing the wheel on everything.

Add me on MSN if you have it.

I know some C++ From back in the D3D days, but now I just use XNA :P

Re-inventing the wheel? Hardly :) That's what libraries like Boost and the Standard Template Library are for.

I haven't used MSN in ages, but feel free to add me on xfire, username = kanana.

I'll add you when I get home, I'm at my internship right now (unpaid sadly ) Working at http://www.sdmesa.edu/ . We got a CMS coded, so now I get to convert all the static pages into a CMS friendly format, and stick them in a database! Fun, isn't it?

Sorry Vash, but I have to disagree slightly here.

I've been programming computers since i was 9. I never got in to the hardware myself. I spent my time writing code and making the hardware do something. I can fit a graphics card. I can fit memory. I can clean fans... build a PC from scratch? A bit out of my league.

If you can do all that your pretty much there. But I can see it being tough for a busy person such as yourself. You need a night to tell the wife to take the kids for Pizza and you build yourself a computer! Don't be scared of doing something wrong or you'll never learn anything. Take a leap out of the comfort zone for great rewards!

That's some nice advice right there. Thanks :)

Building a pc is fairly easy and simple, you just have to be careful not to break anything and make sure everything that needs to be plugged into something else is.

You have to keep in mind that doing something new can be hard to someone who has minimal knowledge about it. I've been building computers for years so I know a lot about that but the car in my sig that I'm rebuilding is a bit tougher because it isn't something I've done before. I'm sure once I do it though it will be just as easy as computer building. aka this goes here that goes there etc.
