"Since the boom of the technology age, many people think that building a computer is extremely hard and an ability that only skilled people have. However, to the massive crowd out there that believes this, you’re wrong! Anyone can build a computer with the parts in hand, and common sense in mind. Building a computer is actually very simple and you can do it too! Let’s start with purchasing the parts you would need for your system. I would recommend Newegg as the best place to buy computer hardware. It usually has the cheapest parts, and has beyond amazing shipping quality."

Building a computer yourself has become so easy..
In the early 386/486 day's you'd buy a motherboard, first deciding what bus it needed to have; Vesa or ISA, then buy a controller for your 10 mb SCSI HD, one for the IO devices, a controller for parallel dev. or if you where rich; a multi IO

.
then spend a week or 2 setting all the jumpers in their right position
and finally trying to starting it up, then spend another week diong the jumpers right this time, then getting to do win 3.0 to do what is should

And now .. buy a M.board a Graphic Card, Memory, A proc. smack it in the case and it runs

So... it wasent always the good ol' days...
