Also if you have built your own computer what are you favorite places to buy hardware?
I think Fry's is the best and I would say you can find almost about anything at Newegg.com. |

But I don't plan to build one in the future, either. XD |

its not that hard to make a pc.. all u do is get a case and motherboard and power supply and a million other things that u carefully make sure fit ur pc and all its things to make it work. gotto make sure everything is the right "size" and stuff and yeah....
its not that hard if u got a good basic knowledge. |
