Re: Self Built Desktop PC

w_tom,

You make your answers too much than they need to be. You make your elaborate
and well thought our answers seem like you need to be a rocket scientist to
work on computers, when anyone has built their own knows that is not the
case.

Readers of w_tom's post should be warned. With a little common sense and
researching on their own, anyone will find out it's not that hard and it
does not require an elaborate response from w_tom.
