How long does it take to build a computer

[tipstir]

At home is quicker if you're organized with:

MOBO: drivers
Software you want on the PCs
Laptops software you need

Hardware
Video
RAM
CPU
Optical Drives
HDD
FDD (I've not building those to any PC)
Capture Cards
Sound Cards
An etc..

Thats almost imposable to do without having half the screws fall out. You cant aim it just right because you always have to slide it to the left to get the ports on the back of the mobo lined up with the case.

You need more practice, then

The I/O shield is probably the trickiest part, i'd agree, but it can be done. Occasionally the far right-hand screws will slide out because it tips too much, but those are the easy ones.

You also don't have to put EVERY screw in.

I've got an OLD screwdriver that I'm almost certain wasn't intended to be magnetic, but somehow it is, very weakly. It can hold onto a screw completely vertical but if you tilt it it falls off. I use that, works great.
