I remember I used a crossover cable to connect two computers. I think it was probably around 2000. The old computer was an IBM with Pentium 166Mhz and the new computer was a AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1000MHz.
My first 砌機 was a Pentium 4 Prescott 2800MHz on a ASUS motherboard. I used a case with 6 fans so the computer was very noisy (I haven't thought of that when I bought the case). That was also my last 砌機 because I found it more expansive buying individual parts. It seems to be cheaper if I ask the MK store to build what I pick from their list.
