How was your pc building experience?

Ghost

I enjoy it. It gives my hands something to do other than type, write or hold a phone. Or something else entirely ( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º)

Love building them, until it comes to cable management in very small cases

I enjoy doing the full hard line water cooling build. Right from cracking open the first box, and having 2-3 days of work ahead of me. I find that more enjoyable than just building a PC.

 

I like the fact of having few thousand dollars worth of gear in front of me, and having pull stuff apart to put it back together.

 

Standard builds are over in an hour for me, and I hate loading software......

Depends on the case. 

 

A poorly designed case makes it a miserable process, no matter how awesome the components are.

I like putting things together with my hands, I haven't really build that many pc's, just basic work on mine, changing fans and cooler etc. But I love doing it. I wish I had infinite amounts of money because I'd make a thread of "request a build" and I'd buy all the parts and put it together and post photos.

 

It's like a lego set on crack, to me.

 

 

i love everything that isn't cable management about building a PC.

PCs are just legos, but bigger. if someone can build with legos, they can build a PC.

:D a fellow fan!

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

absolutely i do

 

I was kinda nervous when  i first built my PC, but now its all very exciting to do this kind of stuff now

 

also when i built my first pc i didnt care at all about cable management, but now i do

 

i spent at least an hour and a half rerouting my cabling, it almost becomes obsessive

Looking for a job

I enjoy building my machines and getting to play with hardware, but not so much other people's machines since I don't like working with people watching me.

Something about pressing that power button when you're finally done, watching the fans whirl, hearing that motherboard *beep*... and then realizing you forgot to plug in your SATA cables. I always forget to plug in my SATA cables. :lol:

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!
