I want to build my own computer

I came across this guide at makeuseof.com on how to build your own computer. Have any of you done that? Now, don’t get me wrong. I’ve cracked my box before. I’ve added components galore. New hard drives, soundcards, ram, etc. But I’ve never actually bought an empty box and mixed and maxed components to put it together.

I think it would be fun but I gotta be honest. I’m a little intimidated by the prospect. Anyone have any words of advice?

• What our clients say

  Just a quick note to share with you how pleased my staff and I have been with the service, the design quality and the accessibility that you have now provided to two of my Divisions (Calvert Trash Systems, Inc. and Raritan Valley Disposal-RVD) since meeting you and partnering with Goofywildcat Design many years ago. The Web Sites that you had designed for me has made it easy for my existing customers to do business with us and more importantly it has given many potential new customers a “direct line” to us. It’s really been phenomenal. But truly, the best part for me has been my working relationship with you and your incredible flexibility to the many changes and ideas that I have thrown at you. You’ve been a pleasure from day one to work with. Thanks Dan!
