Really!! Maybe she could help reimburse me for my latest upgrade!!
Anyway, it really isn't that hard to build your own computer. Actually, the instruction manual that comes with the motherboard will provide you with all you need to know. I was a little shaky on my first build, but after it was all finished, I booted it up and never had a problem. There is a feeling of satisfaction and pride that you'll get after you've done it. If you're lucky like some of us and had no problems, it's like riding a bicycle. Actually, as I look back at it, I am really surprised that it is as easy to build one. Guess that's why computer shops charge so darn much to build one for you because they figure you know nothing about them. It takes longer to load the operating system and the software than it does to build them. Good Luck!!
