I built a Frackin’ Computer!!

Hey Tekzillaites!

In this episode of Tekzilla, Tech guru Patrick Norton baptized me into Nerdom: I can proudly say that I now know how to build a PC!

This project has been something that I have been passionate about attempting for a while. My ultimate dream is to build a bad ass gaming PC– building a basic $500 is definitely a step in the right direction. The biggest thing to get over is that you gotta use force. Not quite the Force, but a PC builder shouldn’t be afraid of using a bit of muscle when snapping all the components into place. That was my biggest struggle [knowing that everything won't break, and requires you to push it good!].

Check it out!

    Congrats. The first of many - we hope. It wasn’t that hard, was it?

    Good job on putting it together. See, it wasn’t that hard after all. Good luck on installing the OS.

    Great job neha! You should be happy you weren’t wiring up audio ports and usb ports for the case, those can get pretty annoying too.

    You should definitely do more on screen roles, you seem great for it. (^_^)

    Best of luck!
