I built a computer with parts from www.newegg.com this past Christmas. It was challenging, but mostly just because it was my first time doing this sort of thing. The worst part by far was installing the heatsink. Those are major pain in the ass. Otherwise, the major part of the battle is just finding what parts you want. (case was hardest for me to find because of all the incompatibilities sometimes xD) and fitting the processor into the motherboard without causing damage. Overall, was frustrating because of heatsink first time, but soon as I was finished, I wanted to build another!

You can build me one any day XD
I do want a good custom computer for gaming and graphic design, but it seems way too expensive and I am already up to my neck in student loans XD

How many hours away are you Nick? lol
and yeah, building a computer isn't cheap, in total, it was like $820. No tax or shipping. That was pretty much the stuff in the tower too. Already had monitor, decent mouse keyboard, ect from over the years. I still want a better mouse, but even they run like $60.

lol... Yeah. I wouldn't mind coming to see you guys sometime, but you know.... Sometime when I have money. lol. I would be somewhat worried about Zach attempting to actually teabag me though...
I'd totally be down to set you up a computer though, next, I want to do a watercooled system! f*ck heatsinks!
