how do you go about building a pc im intrigued?

[cunny]

Well 1st off you will need the case and motherboard, then mount the board inside the case.

Sure there will be vids on youtube on how to do this

Then everything practically only goes in 1 way round, the CPU orientation also with some thermal paste between the chip an heat sink, thats pratically it.

I was trained on apple macs about 13-14 years ago, so most stuff fell out og my head now.

dont make the mistake i made. i build myself a beast and put system fans all over the place just for safe keeping. the humming does get annoying

get it running 64 bit so much faster!!!

Scan on Middlebrook mate. It's next to Homebase... alt: www.scan.co.uk

Aria is good place to look as well. Water cooling will stop any noisy fans.

Nice case!
