@ashthepokemonmaster well, it was about 4 years ago.... I think it had an MMX intel processor.

when you say you made this when you were 10. does that mean that your 13-14 now? as i am 13 and have alot of old computers, and i love building them out of scrap :) where and how did you get your part time job as im very interested!

[psivewri]

@TheGeekSam Well to get a part time job you should ask at your local computer shop or what ever shop sells computers in your area & ask If they need any help with anything, some thing like that!

After getting a donation of 5 outdated (but free =]) computers from my local school, i've really started to see the use you can get from old computers. There great for testing software, and operating systems, learning about upgrading and cannabalism, and more risky things such as BIOS flashing and overclocking. Gives you a testing ground to try out just about anything. Also, handy as a home file/media server. I have an old P3 with 128 MB SDRAM and a total of 20GB HD as my file server :) All free

Yeah i get my computer parts for recycled office shop, they chuck out heaps! Yesterday I got 2x 256 ddr laptop ram, 40gigabyte laptop hardrive and lots more. Once they chucked a P4, 3ghz, 512mb ddr2 ram computer!

PS: My school throw away outdated computer hardware to.

I think it is more fun to build an old pc than a new pc :D

what i liked about your video was the origanality on how you made little papers with what you were going to do next, instead of lame old movie maker blue

i agree its amazing what people get rid of on terms of computer parts, i completely rebilut my old pentium 3 tower pc and most of the parts for free. i did have to pay $15 for a diamond crt though but it works great so it was worth the price

[MrDJBrain]

i agree its amazing what people junk, i completely rebilt my pentium 3 pc and now i use it for file storage and os testing.

people always says: "i was younger then you was when i start building." ~stupid people~.. they are not thinking that the pc-hobby starts with a moment when you got the interest and not with an age. that moment can be when somebody is maybe 8, 13, 18 or even 30 years old! and there is another thing to: you need to have pc parts. for some people it isn't a problem; they have enough money to buy parts or they can find many pc's or pc-parts in the dump yard. others just don't have the posibility.
