Had my desktop PC rebuild…
While up in Scotland, my older bother Douglas fully rebuild my desktop PC for me! I’ve had the current setup, since December 2013. During that time it’s only had a SSD hard drive installed and the RAM upgraded from 4 to 16 GB. So it had done me very well indeed!
But of course, since it was over 10 years old. No way, it could run Windows 11.
So from the old PC, I’ve kept the same case and power supply. Everything else is new, well new to me! Some stuff did recycled from one brothers older PCs…
So I had to pay was a new motherboard. New RAM, I went for 32 GB. And a new SSD hard drive. My current one had been playing up. So, did not want to lose everything on it! I went for one which double the size at 500 GB (current one was 250 GB), the new one is also faster.
So to get a “new” desktop PC, I spent…
- Motherboard – £137.99
- 32 GB of RAM – £50.99
- SSD – 500 GB – £47.97
So a total of just £236.95.
Finding great stuff on my old/new PC!
If you follow on Bluesky or X, you know that. That I’ve just had my desktop PC fully rebuild to get it running Windows 11 Pro! The PC it’s self, has not been working for over 2 years…
Now it’s fully back working. I’ve been having fun finding some of my older videos!
So here are two clips from videos both filmed back in May 2013.
