Don’t look now, but here comes Spring! And Spring FEVER!!! And Spring Cleaning!!! With that in mind, our spring theme is on cleaning, repairing, and building. Brian Miller and Wayne Perkey will be building a custom PC, with a little help from Cool-It. We will be showing you, step by step, how to build a custom PC from zero to complete. We will demonstrate how to upgrade key components to your machine, and with the roll-out of Windows Vista, many of us will have to do that in order to install and run Vista.

            Building a machine (or upgrading) takes more than just putting parts together. We will instruct you on the best methods to find the specifications for your machine, where and how to get the right parts, and how to assemble.

            Cool-It, a national company that specializes in high-end components and cooling systems will be on hand to assist with the project. If you have never seen a water-cooled processor system (as opposed to a heat sink and fan), now is your chance. Of course, our system MUST run the latest games…..So we will use high end dual graphics cards using the new PCI Express bus system. We will need to keep the GPU cool….So Cool-It to the rescue with custom GPU cooling system. This should be fun.

KIPCUG Meeting Features:

Back-to-Basics: 

The KIPCUG General Meeting starts with the ever-helpful Back-to-Basics session.

Each month "Back-to-Basics" chooses a subject to improve everyone's basic/general knowledge. The sessions are intended to help the entry level user. Tom Scanlan leads our Back-to-Basics presentations.  Contact Tom with your suggestions for future topics.

User-to-User with Bob Rose

Bring your problems on a 3x5 card and we will try to give you a fix!

The User to User session with host Bob Rose is just before the Main Presentation, giving your KIPCUG friends a chance to answer YOUR questions submitted on paper. If YOU are having a problem with your PC, this is the time to get a good solution, so remember to bring your questions.  Follow up questions and discussions are posting on the KIPCUG Forum under "Users Helping Users."
