I disagree with GG- it would be a good idea, but not absolutely neccessary. It's not hard if you can read carefully, follow directions precisely, and have a bit of patience. Where you might need help is in selecting the right bits and getting decent prices from your local Korean e market.

There are LOTS of sites on the internet to explain (and show) you exactly what to do:

That should get you started...

Yes...actually, anyone with some know-how really can't screw it up. The pieces fit together like an easy model, and they really only fit one way.

Some great links, Bulsajo....read through these, and there is nothing you won't be able to tackle.

After reading the above I realize I should have qualified my own advice- I think it all comes down to WHY you want to try building your own machine. If it's simply because you think you'll save money, you're probably better served buying an off the shelf system. If you've never looked inside a pc before you should follow Giant's and Muggie's advice. If you've already done things like added a video card, and/or hard drive, Ram, re-installed an o/s etc. and are ready for more, then go for it.
