congrats! i've always thought about building my own PC, but it's always seemed like a colossal pain in the ass to figure out.
maybe some day
From the outside looking in, yeah it's a total pain in the ass. Once you have it all in front of you, it's a LOT easier than it seems. Everything fits together in a very easy way, and the whole project of putting it together can be done in about an hour. It's actually quite simple. I would recommend it if you've got the time/money to put into it.
And I appreciate your lurking, icon! =D
