Hi

[Diozark]

Hello All,

I am new to Linustechtips, 

I would like to learn how to build gaming pc's

Budget Builds, Middle of the road, and High Ultra Platforms, ( whatever that is )

 

Is there a college course that I would benefit from, I tried learning from you tube videos, and the forums but 

Im just getting confused, lol

 

I have intelligence, Just need a direction to focus it on,

 

My Background is Electrical Theory, Basic Ohm's Law

applied it to Electrical Construction for 18 years

 

Phd Harley Mechanic, 

Currently an Electrical Inspector for the most complicated electric commuter train in the world, boring !

lol

 

Pretty good at finding software, installing it using it removing it, Know how to find annoying browser extensions from a bad download and get rid of it.

I have accessed the bios once or twice on older machines.

 

Played around with Linux, but Im not a programmer,  recently tried putting linux on an S10 Lenovo, but couldnt figure it out. ( Windows XP no longer supported )

 

I would love to build custom cases, Like taking a fine piece of furniture ( and making the top open and all your components are built into the desk itself ), custom cooling and air filtration etc etc. I have seen some huge problems with The current method of building pc's with respect to ( The Cases ), doesnt make sense to always have to cram everything into a small space, whats wrong with spreading things out just a bit, so when it comes time to service it, You may be actually able to work on individual components, and not disrupt the other components in the build ?  Basically I want to do my own work, Build a new brand.

 

But I need to learn How to build the thing, first. then I can make changes to it, and test it, see what the differences are. 

 

I found the most challenging thing for me right now is Matching components, The Basics. 

Doesnt do me any good having someone tell me what to build.

 

I started A+ certification, but couldnt finish, Not interested in Yearly Continuing Ed Classes, which are mandatory in Connecticut .

 

Thank You

look forward to making intelligent posts to the forums in the future,

I'd suggest lurking around in the New Builds & Planning subforum and looking at why certain things are recommended. Try to help out with small things you do know. I've learned that trying to teach is one of the best ways to learn.
