New build for my grandma

SecretSquirrel

I may have gone a little overboard.. But hey, it will definitely do anything they will want it to do. Finishing up the software tonight, then on to my uncle's build later. Anyone else build computers?

Dude!
That's a beast!!!
Haven't built one in over a year. I usually have to do OS repairs or virus removal... you know the boring stuff.

Eulogy

Went a little overboard there Beren.

I build every two years but don't build for the family any more. I don't have time for all the tech support. Great job on your build.

LOL for g-ma?!??!  i'd agree, maybe just a "little" overboard......lmao

what's she doin on that thing, rendering 4k video or something?  haha

SecretSquirrel

She has a website and she wanted windows 10. Her previous dinosaur was incompatible. The guy that built her last one was retarded and I've had to deal with it ever since. We both finally got fed up and the project began. This time, my way

I hear ya.. I'm basically the family's tech support guy. But it's OK, I don't mind help in out my grandparents. My mother, on the other hand, has no excuse... Sigh

SecretSquirrel

And to answer "why?" well, not to sound morbid, but this may very well be their last computer, and I wanted it to be a good one.
