I know the feeling. I did my first build last Nov.

It took about 12 hours spread over three weekends.

When I finally turned it on, and all the fans were humming, I yelled "It's Alive!"

I was 59 at the time, and my friends of the same age or older are astonished I did this. Some can't fathom why I didn't just buy a Dell.

I get asked to help diagnose computer problems all the time. My response is always the same: "Well, it might be this or that. You need to take it in for service".

It would be different if someone who had built a computer or who was planning to build one was to ask me for help. Then I certainly would give it.

Lol.Congradulations my friend on your first DIY build.It scares the heck out of you the first few times,but after tackling several problems and coming out on top,you get used to it.My daughter feels the same way about me.Grinzzzz.Anyways,again congrads,and I hope all your builds go as well as this one.Yes I've built several systems over the last few years and I've had the heck scared out of me a few times.Even managed to kill a couple cpu's the first build I did.So I understand the feeling well.Enjoy and Goodluck.
