Building My Computer
GS1110
When I was handed the task of building my own computer I decided to base my computer
around recreational activities. The main focus for my computer is music and social activity. I
love music and I have always used most of my space up on my devices whether it be, desktop,
laptop, or tablet on music. The goal for building my computer is to have a device that fits my
recreational needs. I can literally have a real music library. Ive always wanted my computer to
be like an index for music. With this project at hand I had free reign to actually build a computer
for this particular purpose. I have tons and tons of music and the computer that I am building is
essential to my needs. I would actually want to have a computer for other purposes and one just
for music and social needs if I could afford two computers at once. Music really means
something to me. I feel like music is one of the best things on the earth that you can have and not
have to pay to hear it. Music is everywhere and anyone can make music. If I am feeling happy,
upset, sad, or just contempt there are songs that will be able to complement my feelings through
the use of music. I am a dedicated music blogger and I actually need a computer that will be
based on my social, audio, and media needs. As far as my social needs, I am big on Facebook,
Twitter, Flipbook, Instagram and the list goes on. I feel that I need a computer to use for these
recreational things as well as another computer for work purposes because on all of my devices
the recreational takes up more space than it should. Building a computer just based around those
recreational activities would be ideal for me. I can have more space on all of my devices and
have one computer where all of my multimedia social activity can be in one place.
Specs:
Type of performance: I decided to go with a middle of the road performance machine. My
computer will be based around media and social activity so I will not need a high performance
machine. I will need the machine to perform certain activities like Facebook, email Skype, and
stream videos and movies. The main activity on my computer will be music related. I want my
computer to be able to hold tons of music so I figured with performance I am somewhere in
between.
