Hell0 everyone! I know that there are many people here who know how to choose parts for a new PC and to assemble it by their own. so that's why I want to ask you, do you know how to do that?

Hello phoenix, I do know how to assemble. I learned it when I used to work abroad, during weekend instead of being idle I joined a group that teach people who wants to learn. Am not using my assembled pc now though, I shifted to laptop.

Yes, I do know how to assemble PCs. In fact, I have to know how to do it because I have IT background. It's not really difficult though. Assembling PCs doesn't require a degree in Computer Science. I believe anyone can do it. I have taught some of my female colleagues on how to do it and they manage to do it.

well, it is really good having an IT background. unfortunately I don't have one and sometimes it is difficult to me to assemble some parts with the others

I cannot assemble my PC completely lol----Being a computer graduate i'm into developing softwares and coding part but never had to assemble my PC for practicality---I can sort out few parts though very much like the hard disks and then DVD drive,RAM as i faced some problems with these and i have a tendency to learn things especially those which makes me dependent for someone else.I learnt about them when from friends.great day.

yeah, I can also do the saem things like you- only the things that are easier to be assembled but I can't actually assemble the motherboard with all other stuffs, because I actually don't know where to put them all :)

The hardest part about assembling computers, is getting the compatible parts and really you can look that information up online. Then it is just following the instructions that come with the motherboard to put all the wires in their right places on the board. I expect people who put them together for their job can do it very quickly but someone doing one for themselves at home has all day to go slowly and get it right. I have put some together myself before and my son built one when he was 13 as part of his homeschooling .

yes, the most important is to know what parts are compatible with the motherboard and with all other parts, because otherwise we can lose our money buying some useless parts

Yup, It's been 9 years, 2 months, 6 days from now I started working with computers. From that time, I always see, touch, break and fix computers. Reading updates on the net, comparing and double checking all details for new released hardware.

No I don't! I had to have a friend hook it up for me! All I know is where the plug is for the electricity. It is pretty much the same with my car. I know where the gas goes, and how to turn it on and that's it.

Yes, absolutely! I know every part that I have to buy, and I can assemble them too The only problem I have is that Macs can't be assembled (I use only Macs because I just love them and Apple ove rall), but they have to be bought from Apple...
