Yes, a few years including having written a couple real-time operating

How often do you "build"?

As one who likes to experiment and try the very leading-edge I do it
more often than most and have it down to a science. When I got the
new mb I probably rebuild four times until I got it the way I wanted.
Since the 780sli is relatively new there have been a number of
unpdates including BIOS flashes. The major problem today is
formating 500Gb to 1Tb disks, especially if you choose not to do a
quick format.

Rebuild? Poor choice of words. That's almost as daft as Frank claiming
he's an engineer because he once claimed to have replaced a single
component on a single motherboard, ONCE. Frank the idiot he is,
thought that would impress us.

Updating/changing the BIOS isn't rebuilding. Neither is swapping
memory or trying different CPU's, heat sinks or other stuff.

If you want to be technical you never "built" a system either. Not
even once. Nobody has. The best you've done is ASSEMBLE a handful of
off the shelf parts like a power supply, motherboard, memory, CPU,
heartsick, added a hard drive, mouse, keyboard, graphic card other
goodies if you want, plugged in a few cables, loaded some drivers that
came with the MB, loaded the OS, then your applications and you're off
to the races.

So easy, kids do it. I've taught several in the neighborhood how.
Even overclocking is easy these days. Do it directly from BIOS. Big
deal.

Hint: anyone that's done simple home repair, changed oil in your car
can EASILY "assemble" their own computer, save money and end up with a
better, faster system than any pre-build box. I've been doing it for
over 15 years. Piece of cake.
