A little research and survey

[leo_dav]

Well school commends you that you do stuff for class... and I have to do my own research for some.. research paper

Anyway if you would like to answer the following questions, please do so

1) If you were to have a computer right now what would its components be (I would like to hear at least brand names though any other info is useful)?
2)Would you biuld said computer yourself, let another one you know biuld it for you or let a company do it for you?
3)Are you heavily influenced in what people say and give opinions about computer parts or you rather tend to stick to brands regardless?
4) Do you keep yourself knowlegdeable about the latest technology available or you do not care about the uptodate news and tend to side to slightly older technology?
5)When choosing parts, what do you have in mind?

Thanks in advance
