My Dream Machine in Three Acts

By Nick Hodge | January 22, 2008

Can u make me a peecee nows?

After spend­ing late 2007 writ­ing about and build­ing my own fast PC — I real­ised there was a lar­ger place for the story to be told. But not here. It was time to go PC enthu­si­ast over on Chan­nel 10.

The most dif­fi­cult piece to write was the over­ture. Know­ing at which tech­nical level to tar­get the writ­ing. Feed­back is welcome.

x64 is a bar­rier that the PC industry is going to push through dur­ing 2008. Laptops with only 4Gb of RAM are a bit cheezy and limited.

The over­ture:

And the three acts:

  1. My Dream Machine: Plan­ning
  2. My Dream Machine: Con­struc­tion
  3. My Dream Machine: Tuning

 front-page

Next art­icles will be related to how I work on this machine. The old Toshiba crap­top just isn’t cut­ting it anymore.

Good to be rid of writer’s block.
