Ways to persuade my father to let me build a PC

[Thrackan]

Hitachis ain't bad, they're just usually a little more noisy and less power friendly.

I just love my Samsungs, my WD is giving me crap humming noise.

Hey btw how old are you? I'm 16

Yea I was gonna ask the same thing, I'm 15 (well 16 in march...).
I build comps all the time, my dad comes how and finds 10 packages at the door and goes "whats all that?" I just go... "oh just another computer..."
He's like "oh cool! Who's it for?", "for a client down the street, gotta deliver it in two days."

He thinks it's great, cuz I make money doing it, and it's just something I love to do.

You shoulda told your dad that theres some younger guys just like yourself on the forums, who build comps all the time. lol.

Anyways, glad you got a system built, just make sure that when you want an upgrade, to order the part yourself and then put it in the system and show your dad that YOU upgraded it no problem and that you knew how to all along.

Noisy and power hungry I don't mind, being shitty and dieing for no reason I do.

I have one WD, and it is a great drive, i also have a Seagate, and for some reason that one gives me some random loud squealing noises, but i have yet to see something go wrong with it. Been working for a long while now.

The loudest thing in my system is the stupid stock QX6700 CPU fan, makes it sound like theres an airport in my system.:shadedshu

 

[mrhuggles]

i have a stock Q6600 fan, but it is only like maybe 5% as loud as my 2900xt fan at 100%

i wonder if im overestimating that? i don't think so.
