its easy. just remember if it doesnt fit, dont force it. everything only fits in the place its supposed to go and will only fit one way most of the time.

Has anyone here ever put a computer together, and was it hard because my Mom thinks it will be super hard and I don't know if it will be so could you tell me if you found it hard to build a computer??

It's really easy. If you need help just AIM me or something.

Oh, & don't make the mistake of shorting your mobo out by mounting it directly into the case. Use those plastic screwy whatyamicallem things.

My standoffs looked like the left-most metal ones.

Not using standoffs seems to be a common mistake for someone building a rig for the first time. I've seen it happen quite a few times.

same here. its something you would think maybe putting all the metal connections directly on a big piece of metal might be a bad idea...

People keep saying that Macs are only good for non-gamers. Myself, I am a gamer, but still use a mac. Lots of good games are ported to mac, and am currently saving up for a new imac, then I can aslo run windows *shudder* games if I feel at all inclined.
