Putting your own comp together is very easy - VERY easy. I did it with a manual, and common sense + alot of double checking before doing stuff. I had fiddled with the insides of comps before - but LONG LONG ago, however, it really is that simple. I used existing comps as a "guide" to things, always read the instructions that came with my motherboard THOROUGHLY. After that, a bit of balls to carry on when you aint sure, and you build it yourself. After that your confidence knows no bounds, and you can do it all yerself after that

Aye 'tis true. Being able to build a computer from the ground up is a very useful skill that has a wide range of applications. It also means that you don't have to spend $150 getting some hack to throw it all together for you, only to find out that he has stolen all of the driver CDs and spare screws!?!?!? Ahem, sorry. What were we discussing again?

I have to get my screws from somewhere!

I'd build it myself but I don't want to mess with the dual SATA drives, I've no experience with them.

Ok then, im never giving my computer to Taw to fix...

as for the setup- looks pretty kick-ass, very high end. But im a bit curious: how do you expect to use it without a keyboard and mouse?



Most people that complain about sexism are more sexist than the people they complain about.

Im back, bigger, better, and still under attack

n00bs these days, so angry, so full of caps.

nice specs, i suggest try putting your pc by yourself, use the manual given, if they didnt give u, U demand it. This is because there are people who forgot or took the manual. Its yours u deserve it once u purchased it.

argh i'm never gonna get paid, Goodbye a million credits

I plan to scrap my current system for the keyboard, mouse, and moniter.

I can highly recommend ythe mobo, I've done a few systems now with those and they are excellent.

Question about in-case lights. Do they serve any purpose other than decoration? Note this is just curiosity. I have no interest in "decorating" my PC that way.

And since when the cover's off of the PC, so's the power, I figure that they only serve decorative purposes.... but not sure.

How does one with learn how to put a computer togeather?

There are many DIY websites on this topic.

Here's just one .

The most recent advances in PC technology, plug'n'play-ability and such has made it less difficult than before. You still need to be careful and to take
recommendations about being properly grounded seriously ( so that you don't damage your components before you ever get to use them ... as opposed to shocking yourself to death ).

Trial and error, a manual - and most importantly....something else to look at (like another computer for comparison!).
