People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

I was 10 when I built my first. A AMD Duron 1.3ghz with onboard sound and graphics. Worked perffect the fidt time.
Re: How did the first computer you built turn out
The first PC I built (Not counting the barebones system a year ago) is the one I'm using right now.
It's turned out pretty well, even though it's taken me six months to finally finish the thing. I've been using it for most of that time, and just waiting until I had enough money to get the next part.
The only issues I have had are 1) The processor heatsink, I had to push so damned hard on the lever that locks it down that I still have ridges in my thumb.. and 2) Me tweaking things in software and causing everything to stop working properly.

Re: How did the first computer you built turn out
Ran flawlessly on the first start up, I had upgraded before (amd 450mhz to a celeron 500mhz) and then afterwards built a system looking like this:
Athlon 2500, 1gb 2700, 40gb maxtor, asus mobo, geforce 4 (soon upgraded to a 9600pro). Up and running in no time.
Re: How did the first computer you built turn out
Purchased a pre-built from a local PC shop in 2001/02. Incrimentally upgraded it over time due to hardware failure (hard drive scratched, PSU caught fire, busted mobo, etc). Current Rig (see sig) is the first "completely built by me" machine.
Because everything was incremental over time, this build was pretty much flawless, as all the hardware was already checked and tested as mostly it was a case change. Only problems I have is with hard drive cooling, noise reduction, and processor cooling, but nothing else horrible happened that I attribute to my assembly skills.

Speaking of rebuilding computers, I just rebuilt some dell (mobo fried, so I replaced the mobo)
