computer gaming obsession
2008-05-09 18:57:00 We are pretty dead at work today - which I am totally fine with. I don't mind only taking one or two calls an hour. It's much better than being swamped and feeling overwhelmed. Anyway, my point is that I have been surfing the internet for random information on a variety of things. My husband has been obsessed with computers lately. He's a serious video game freak and always has been, but now he is determined to start playing computer games. He's been thinking about building a computer for himself for just this purpose. So, in my "travels" online I came across the perfect site for him: How to Build a Computer. It seems simple enough to me. The kit includes everything a person would need to build a computer. He can also get upgrade kits to increase the ram or replace the CPU. I know I will end up regretting telling him about it, as I will probably never see him again because he'll be locked in a room with this project, but I know he will appreciate the information!
