Matt never ceases to amaze me. Here is a man that, at best, can make some cheese nachos or a bowl of cereal in the kitchen. But, he can put a computer together from nothing.
After Christmas, Matt decided he needed a new computer. His was five years old and not fast enough to run the new photo editting software for his new camera. He decided to build his own.
He went to the computer store and got all kinds of things that I don't know the names of. Cards, boards, fans, and random other things all the best and fastest he could find. Then he spent his weekend putting it all together. In the empty computer "case" he bought, he screwed in and put together somehow all these random pieces, hooked up a monitor and keyboard, installed Windows 7, and, poof, new computer.
I cannot imagine all the things that one must know to be able to do that. I can't tell you all the random computer hardware and software and even firmware terms I've heard him recite over the past week. But, he knows them all, and what they mean. And, he's got a super-nice computer now, that he built, from scratch.
