Hi guys,
So I've fancied having a go at a self build for a little while now, and seeing posts about other people doing it hasn't been helping.
However, I have a perfectly good laptop and when it is fixed a desktop.
So, I was trying to work out what sort of uses I would have for it, pretty much all I could think of was for watching films and tv on demand.. I have a ps3 and smart tv for that.
Then my main desktop died on the bank holiday weekend and I haven't been able to use it since. This wouldn't have been a major issue but the only backup of my football manager is about a two game months ago and it is the transfer window and I bought a load of youngsters that took forever to scout. I also don't have any easily available training schedules that also took forever to make (yes I am way too into my game). This gave me the idea that I needed a way to backup my stuff. BUT, if I just got an external hard drive that still worked as it should I could do easy backups anyway.
So basically I'm asking, do you reckon I should go for it or just save my money and buy a new external hard drive for backups.
If yes, what sort of thing would you recommend, I would probably want a mini PC.
