I originally started out with an Acer Aspire PC with an AMD K6 processor with a 6 gigabyte hard drive. The drive crashed one day and I could not get it to work. I found a local Acer repair dealer and they charged me $225.00 for a new hard drive. They gave me the old one back to send to a recovery center to get all my scanned images back. I was angry and felt ripped off. I vowed to myself that this would not happen to me again. I started to read all about PCs and I bought myself a new PC case an FIC-SD11 AMD Athlon Slot A mother board and proceeded to build my own PC. It had 2 hard drives C: and D: it was a big success and worked perfectly. However, whenever I learn something new I have got to take that new knowledge and push it to the limits. I decided to build a bigger and faster PC.
This time I bought an ASUS A7V-KT133 Mobo and built myself a 22 drive computer system with 9 Hard Drives, 2 Floppys, 5 CDRWs, a Zip 100 and Zip 250 drive, a Jazz drive, DVD RAM and 2 tape drives. They were lettered A to V by Windows. This computer was built for redundancy for uninterupted workflow. It was built so that some of the drives can crash and I can still keep on working. This is because the drives are split up across SCSI, ATAPI, USB, and Firewire interfaces. It was also dual boot. If Windows XP does not work I can use Windows 98 or vice versa, because on boot up I get to pick which OS I want to use. I am getting ready to build a 64 bit machine now. It will be one the most powerful ever. After teaching myself how to build and fix my own PCs I went back to scanning and digitizing documents again.
