For the past couple of weeks, Ian has been using his birthday gifts — Amazon gift cards — to buy computer parts. Yesterday, Steve and Ian went to the super geeky computer parts company to get the last couple of components. Then Ian spent five hours putting it together.

He has taught himself computer repair from YouTube videos and a simulation game on Steam. He is almost done. He had to order some more screws from Amazon last night, so he can finish the project and see if it works. Fingers crossed.
