Where did you learn ''how to build a computer''

Paul, who then led me to Linus

I guess I just one day started messing around with one. It was probably my OEM Fujitsu Siemens-made Pentium 4 where I really got interested, as through my job I was getting a lot of hand-down computer components like RAID cards and stuff. That box lasted me a long time, didn't actually upgrade until Core2Duo E8400.

All sorts of youtube videos... Endless amounts of youtube videos. By the time I saved enough money to build a PC I was a master builder lol

[Ookami]

I did it Russian style. Took it off screw by screw and then put it back. While it still worked i hade some screws left...

 

MAGIC!

NeweggTV's tutorials.

New Egg's build guide videos were probably the first videos I watched on how to build one step by step, but I've watched and read a ton of other stuff too.

 

I had NCIX build my first PC, and by the time I wanted a whole new rig I was well versed enough to do it myself, and it went without a hitch.

newegg's 'how to build a pc' series.

YOLO. Father, linus.

[do_hickey]

Youtube videos from Newegg and Linus in his younger years. 

 

I'm not sure what to think about the fact that I'm the first to also include: www.reddit.com/r/buildapc

I just bought the parts and leaned on my own, with a little help from the mobo manual. I've build three or 4 systems since, all for my own personal use.

Mainly Linus when he primarily worked for NCIX, JayzTwoCents then TinyTomLogan, Newegg and finally razethew0rld/Tek Syndicate

We didn't have newegg or youtube wayback then. I bought a full tower pc and it had a micro atx board, I couldn't stand it so I bought Micro atx case and switched it over. Most of my expeirence came latter trying to fix a problem it had, I tried just about everything to fix it. Turns out it was the Maxtor HDD

It's not that hard, I just build mine a year ago without any help. It's just like puzzle for adults.

When I was younger (like 8) I took apart my mom's Dell and put it back together, I just liked taking things apart and seeing where everything went. Now in current times I learn everything from watching youtube videos and dicking around with a ASUS desktop I bought 5 years ago.

It was never an "Oh wow I can build computers now!" for me. First I started following a few PC youtubers and realized that mouse and keyboard > controler. After that I just stored that information in my head and went on with life. But eventually I was not satisfied with my 2001 dell business laptop and wanted an upgrade(it was time seeing as my laptop monitor was broken and liquid PCB started dripping out the vents on multiple occasions). At this point I already had a decent grasp on how to build a PC but then I started looking into specifically what to actually buy and I just went from there.

Watching videos, upgrading my own pc

I learned myself because i always loved taking things apart.
