My son with his first home built computer

It’s eventual function will be as a media center for the household. We will be able to store all our images, video and music on the terabyte hard drive, watch TV and movies and listen to music through my amplifier, all controlled through wireless keyboard and mouse. For now, it has Linux installed, as the Windows CD came too scratched to use. We supplied the funds and he did the research, sourced all the components and constructed it. How cool is that?

  1. He looks so much like you!

  2. That’s interesting. I am too close to see it….

    He’s started to convert our all Mac household. Yikes!

  3. Wow! I am so proud of him!

  4. Bragging back. Lucas build his own computer last January. It runs Linex. 266 Ghz – 4gig ram. He didn’t have enough money for such a big hard drive.

    Love, Mary

  5. I guess it’s a 14 year old thing then. And I didn’t keep up on the specs of all the other components. He’s still waiting to get a longer IDE cable to connect the video and TV tuner cards.

    :)

  6. I’m w-a-y impressed….but surprised? Not so much. :-) )
