For those who have not got a clue, I was back in Malaysia for holidays. I just arrived on Tuesday. Since coming back from Malaysia, I have big ideas on customizing my computer. Most probably, I will build one from scratch and first, I will compare the cost of building from scratch to purchasing a ready-made one. My ultimate idea is to create a multimedia personal computer.

I have been browsing yesterday for ideas on multimedia personal computers. Well, you might say that every computer is a multimedia personal computer because it plays music, movies and slideshows. However, a multimedia personal computer will have its own interface similar to the cable TV and you can browse the files on your computer using a remote control. The casing should look similar to a radio unit where the control buttons are at the front.

The price of a ready-made multimedia that I can find starts from £450 pounds. I am not sure whether I will be able to build a similar one cheaper than that by utilising my existing computer’s components. Right now, my mind is on a second hand computer shop around my area. I might be visiting it this weekend and hopefully, the trip to the shop will be fruitful.
