haha, a wrench for a computer? i think all you need are a few screwdrivers...

it would be easier to find a webpage on google about this. just make sure everything is compatible with one another before you buy anything

ya i'll try googling it, my friend says it's really easy to do, but i'm decent at computers and it's just not coming to me. Maybe i'll have to see it done once or something.

you want a good tutorial on how to do it i am sure tomshardware.com has one search their site. the reason it can save you money is that you dont need to get the top of the line parts know what you want to do with it and you can cater your system to suit your needs

you should probably ask someone who knows to show you how to build a computer. it's the best way to learn.

It's really pretty easy to do. Shop for parts on newegg.com. Get someone who knows a lot about computers to help you.

Drive around on garbage day and find an old PC in the trash.

Take it home and tear it apart.

If you can identify the parts and put most of it back together without manuals, you are in pretty good shape to build one from scratch.

i've built about 3 computers. definitely don't try it unless you have someone who can build for you. go to www.newegg.com for all your parts. its cheapest there.

case, power supply (if the case doesn't come with one), motherboard, processor, heatsink+fan for processor, RAM, video card, harddrive, optical drives (DVD, CD-RW, etc.), floppy drive, i think that's it.

My brother got a new comptuer and I accidentally knocked out a few things while removing a bitch of a hardware so I kind of learned how to build computers...

i built mine in 45 minutes... its pretty dope

everything you need:

mobo
harddrive (make surei ts 8mb cache)
power supply
grahpics card
cpu fan/cooling
other fans
cd/dvd drives
sound card if you dont want built in sound
DDR ram

thats about it. isnt hard at all but u should know about how it all fits together and what each part does and shit before you try it

i'm sayin' get a local shop to do it for you.. if you're in a city, they're usually in so much competition with the guy down the road that they'll build you a good machine for the same price as if you built it yourself .. sometimes cheaper.. and you can take it back to them if something breaks. if you do it yourself and you're not too sure what you're doing and something goes wrong, you'll have to deal with manufacturers for parts... which takes time.
