depends how much stuff you have to go in it and how well you know what you're doing... if all the parts are there then certianly no more than a coupla hours to fit it all together and get windows installed..

Building a computer is like making love to a beautiful woman.

Slow and painful.

If you dedicated to doing it... probably a day or 2 (I think).

Half an hour - an hour and a half

If it's your first time, it might hurt. *

Probably take 2-3 hours.

*Seriously, be careful when fitting the motherboard plate to the back - it's really easy to cut yourself! I've done it many times.

I'm sure i posted in this topic... Did i not?

EDIT. There's another on in the PC forum. THAT's where i posted.

* rah!

Probably 2 hours if you know what your doing, but its best to take your time and double check everything - so i'd say a good 3, maybe even 4.

there's lots of fiddly moments and you'll want a new one in a year or so.

Important: make sure the heatsink and fan are properly attached to the processor before you power up.
