To be fair the whole thing's just plug'n'play, and Bok only has to take stuff back because he doesn't research his specs enough. I just find seating the cards hard because some of them are so damn flimsy. I'm always worried I'll break them. :(

Hooking up all those itsy-bitsy wires from the case (USB, audio, power, HDD, etc.) onto the motherboard is the most annoying part. In general, wiring up is annoying. Installing Windows/Linux is a close second.

I think static is an overlooked danger. It will FRY components like RAM as one's fingers pass within a spark's distance.

Yes.

 

:)

 

Have the power cable connected (there is an earth lead in it) as you touch the case, then take it out, and continue with the "operation".

Or touch a radiator just before you start working on your sensitive equipment.

Installing RAM is pretty hard to. Always a combination of push hard and be gentle.

 

Oh, I can do RAM too :)

 

the only thing I wont attempt is a power supply and a motherboard/CPU

When I tried it, the computers did not show up on each machine. Everything was connected, everything was on, I followed the instructions on how to do it, and nothing.

Did you set up each computer to connect to the network and allow file sharing between them? (I'm assuming you were using XP)

Hmmm, I'm not sure then :huh:

 

It's been 2 years since I set it up, and I never encountered something like this :)

Or wear one of those wristbands that you put on your wrist and attach it to the case.

Aye, it makes you look like a pro. :cool: I always wear mine when I'm assembling someone else's machine in front of them. :)

When I got a new computer case (on my birthday, exactly one week ago) I moved everything from my old case to the new one and installed a new GPU and soundcard. That was the first time I ever installed a motherboard for myself. I have, however, built other people's computers from the ground up. It's funny that I think it's much more stressing to build my own computer than others. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
