Build your own computer.... Save money....

Its a fantastic idea in principle, you buy the bits and build it yourself saving money.

In only one day this week I took two such computers in for repair.

One Un-named customer buys over 700 pounds worth of computer components, assembles them correctly to a point but missing one minor thing... the copper spacers that sit between the board and the chassis... resulting in a severe short circuit. Total cost of damage = one dead Radeon X1800 All in Wonder costing £225 +

If your going to build your own computer (and your doing it for the first time) please dont practice on hundreds of pounds worth of stuff. Play around with something cheaper and second hand first.
