Getting Help Building Your Computer

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the everyone-needs-a-little-helping-hand dept.

An anonymous reader submitted an excellent story about getting help when assembling a PC from scratch. I'm sure many readers here know how harrowing the experience can be, and will appreciate this entertaining tale of lilliputians helping in this rite of passage.

  1. My first computer by geekoid · · Score: 4, Insightful

    came in a kit, circiut board, and components.
    I had to soldier it together.

    Its really pretty easy these days, espcially compared the the DOS 3 days.

    We do live in a time where I can put together a system, and have linux up and running in about 45 minutes.
