May I just ask, how hard is: 1. Screwing in motherboard to the Chasis. 2. Placing hard drive(s) in the hard drive(s) bay(s) 3. Placing the CD-DVD Drive in the DVD-Drive bay 4. Connecting the LED light to the motherboard (following the instuction manual for that) 5. Connect the DVD-Drive and Hard Drive(s) to the motherboard via ATA or SATA 6. Placing graphics card in the AGP/PCI-E slot. 7. Connecting 4 pin Females into 4 pin Males (on the drives) in an array which is valid so all parts get power 8. Plug in Monitor 9. Plug in mouse/keyboard 10. Plug in anything else into the back 11. Turn on computer and follow Darkstars= 'Reformatting Tutorial'. 12. Installing all other programs you want on. Done? If you cant do that.... then wow.

You still have to mess with the bios and stuff when installing everything which may confuse him, i know there are instructions to follow in there but still he may be put off from touching it.
Also like connecting the wires to start, reset etc, you have to read lotsa manuals, but dont worry they explain it clearly. I'm already now building my own...
umm load defaults, or dont' touch BIOS viola... he can f with BIOS if eh wants to C and get bang/$ even mroeso
lots of manuals? it comes right with the mobo manual... mess with bios? wow, changing the boot sequence? like a sequence of hitting 4 respective buttons. but nvm, this is gett really hard now. Merged Post: Oh yeah, that was Step 4 in my 'steps of building the computer'
Read? WTF are you guys on crack? Everything is more than likely color coded on your boards too... holy ----... read?
Correct me, yes it is one manual for the motherboard but with all the other computer parts, you have lotsa together. Its just time consuming, and when something doesnt work/fit you get frustrated and if you connect something wrong you can F it all up. ''Oh, where is this red button at the back of PSU for? Hmm lets try...'' j/k, happend to my friend once...
Building a comp isn't really easy... Say if you got the wrong Case for your mobo or you dont know how to or where to connect the power and led connecters or if you dont know the first thing to do for the mobo config.
Eh, I did it.. If you want to create it, just do a little research..and if you get a mobo that doesnt fit in ur case or seomthing your just a douche.. xP Not too hard but if he doesnt wanna go thru the trouble he doesnt have to. so can someone update me here, I dont wanna read 3 pages..
most people suggested Ibuypower to him. and then he asked if anyone bought from ibuypower.. thats about it... Plus the fight of 'Alienware is overpriced', stuff like that..
As long as you get an ATX case, you shouldnt have any issues with the case (unless you get a Baby ATX mobo, i dont know if that fits standard ATX form factored cases.) But sticking with an ATX case and an ATX or Micro-ATX mobo.... its not that hard. Merged Post: btw, there arent many (if any) Micro-ATX cases, usually they are made ATX. But just check to be sure.
