This goal got pushed to one side for six months or so due to finances and unexpected circumstances, but I finally got there a couple of weeks ago. The system is working beautifully – no hassles whatsoever. :D

How I did it: Since this was my first time, I had some help from a friend that's built a lot of computers. Only took one night, maybe from 5PM to around 1AM. Got really tired but it worked on first boot. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Had to order the parts off newegg.com. Waiting for those to arrive was what took so long. Overall it took me less than 4 hours to assemble it all once it got to my house. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Bought the parts and shipped them to Iraq. Used a phillips screw driver and plugged it all together. Make sure you have all the parts before you start and find a clean area.Don't plug it in until you are finished. Read how I did it…

The geek in me really wants to build a computer, not just to have a nice system, but to say that I have done it.
Aylian is a goddamn hippie
I’ll have to do this later. I don’t have the time nor the money to do this right now.
i really want to do this but i don’t have enough money to build the rig i really want. i love computers and am verry intrested in them. i know the basics of building but i would like a personal designed one which is expensive.
the computer has virtually become the most important and vital invention in the world and i wana be able to make one. if one day im able to build my own comp it would prove that i can finish what i start and il be using my own shit!
Funds are now sorted and I plan to start researching and selecting components this weekend.

My bonus Mom took apart a computer that we got to buy cheaply from her and I put it back together everything except the mother board, it went fairly well and I only did a few minor mistakes. Now I want to earn money buy parts and build one so I can take it off the list and have a desktop computer running Ubuntu or some other Linux distro.
