Raising Funds for Hardware Revolution's New Workstation PC

Mathieu Bourgie | March 4, 2010 | View Comments

My current “workstation” from which I manage Hardware Revolution and write articles on, an HP tx1000 tablet laptop, has been plagued with problems for the last few months and could now fail at any time. Despite various attempts to fix it, the problem remains.

My solution is to build a new Workstation PC from scratch, based on a mix of the $500 and $1000 Workstation Builds.

Starting today and until the end of March, I’ll be raising funds toward building this new Workstation in order to replace my failing laptop and to help me keep improving Hardware Revolution for you.

My goal is to raise $1000, which will cover the build, a monitor, shipping and taxes.

If this website helped you before, this is your chance to return the favor and help me this time.

The Acer Aspire One Netbook

Are netbooks here to stay? Will they get replaced by touchscreen tablets and e-readers? Or will they stay around, but with a different processor than the lackluster Intel Atom? Here’s my take on this, which I invite you to read and give us your opinion on.

Now that 2009 is over, I decided that it would be a good time to review my work here on Hardware Revolution by answering 50 Questions to Ask to Review Your Blog, based on an article from Darren Rowse of ProBlogger.net.

I’m doing this to do a reflection of my work here on Hardware Revolution in 2009, see what worked, what didn’t work, what can I do and so on. My goal is to be a better blogger and to improve your experience reading this blog.

However, instead of answering on my own, I figured that I would share the questions and answers here with you, for that you might learn a thing or two about me, what I’m trying to do here and how you could benefit from that. Enjoy!
