Building a PC - Questions.

[Hitman]

Hey, I was looking at buying a PC then my dad said "why don't you build one". I'm not a "computer expert" when it comes to hardware, I'm only alright with the software side. So now I have a few questions.

Is it not too difficult to build your own PC? I read that there's not much wiring involved, just slotting things in and connecting them.

Is it cheaper and is it worth the hassle?

Thanks.

It's worth it (Or at least my book says it is)
It saves on money and allows you to customize it to your specific needs
Also from what I can tell it's not to hard, just very time consuming

Building a computer is actually very easy, only thing i found annoying at start was the LED's but since mine was a cheap case the wises came all messed up

It's cheaper usually and there isnt much hassle

Is the book called the bible? becasue it seems you base all your mind on it some how :S.


I would build it, you can build it to your need, you learn alot more about hardware, only problem is that you need to spend alot of time on it, and make sure everything is done, ie wiring ect

Thanks for replying - ebuyer has quite a lot of things only problem is that they don't ship to Spain.

Yeah that's why I thought it might be a good idea because I can build it to how I want it instead.

Yeah build it yourseld. It is just pretty much slotting things together. Couple of screws here and there maybe. Ask within this forum for advice on what to buy for what money etc. and you'll get pleanty of help.

Thanks Nick. Do you know any sites that sell components that ship to Spain? I'd buy the smaller things online and the bigger things in Spain.

Building a computer is the easiest thing ever! Heck, it's easy enough for an 11 year old taiwanese kid to assemble for a bowl of rice XD
