Building my first comp. - have a few questions

[quido]

Building a computer is easy if you have a 2+ digit IQ. If your components aren't defective and you can follow some relatively simple instructions, it's pretty straightforward. I built my first computer when I was a wee lad just by sticking shit where it fits and having a bootable Windows 98 CD.

Troubleshooting a build that runs into problems is where things can get difficult. If things don't go as planned don't try to get tricky or creative. Get a knowledgeable friend or an expert to assist you.
