First off, don't buy a pre-built. It's like lighting hundreds of dollars on fire.

Personally I wouldn't touch that case with a thirty nine and a half foot pole as it's the ugliest thing I've ever laid eyes on. Waste of money and space if you ask me. Not actually a bad case otherwise.

The problem is, is that I never actually have tried building my own PC because I am afraid of just screwing it all up. I look up how and it still worries me. Thats why I have been looking at iBuyPower, CyberPower, and Alienware. I know its not the best idea, but I dont know really anything about PC buiding.

It's so simple...it really is. The only part when building it that'll take a little bit of time is the front panel connectors, but your manual that's provided by your MOBO will walk you through it - hell, they even have Q connectors to make it 10 x more easier. Unless you want to screw it up on purpose and break a component, that issue is almost non existent as long as you're wearing an anti-static wrist band and have some care. All the companies listed above, particularly Dell are grossly overpriced for what you're getting, and on top of that, 99.99% of they time they cheap out on the PSU and or the MOBO leaving you screwed in the long run. Watch the tutorial by Newegg and see for yourself - they go through everything you'd possibly ever need to know.

Well, it's easy and you won't screw anything up. I taught a bunch of kids to do it a few weeks ago in a matter of hours and did the same a year ago. See our sticky in the PC Support section, I included info and videos.

Well when you put it that way, you make it sound really easy. Thanks, I think I will try and build one. If I need any help with the front panel can I contact either R00t or you?

Building it is always the way to go. Plus, it's a fun little project + you gain respect and knowledge for future reference. If you do have problems with them, sure...but your MOBO will tell you everything.

Dont worry about screwing anytihng up,im 14 and i did mine in under 2 hours including good cable management,the hardest thing for me was putting the mobo in the case. xD
