PASUG: Computer Build-A-Thon

Note: This website is using CSS and other modern web techniques. Just as you migrated from DOS to a more modern operating system, perhaps it is time to use a newer browser. Anyway, we have tested this site with a variety of old browsers (1.0 browsers my have some trouble) and, while most of them will display the site's content, it may not be very pretty.

The PACS OS/2 SIG held a computer build-a-thon at the October 1998 meeting. The purpose of this group project was to help members to learn more about computers and at the same time to allow each participant to bring home an up to date system.

Eight members built systems from scratch or upgraded older systems during the course of the three hour meeting.

We have kept the information from that build-a-thon here for reference as the organizers provided a great deal of useful information about selecting components for an optimal price/performance OS/2 system. There are also helpful suggestions for anyone building or upgrading a system.
