Building a computer
When people hear that some people build their own computer, they automatically decide that it must be some very challenging task that requires a wizard of all things electronic.

Be it playing games, video-editing, or just simple internet browsing. Moving onward to an almost as essential step as putting it together: what tools are going to be needed before we begin the actual assembly process. As one can most likely deduce it does not matter how much is spent or what parts are purchased; if the tools to assemble it are not gathered, getting nowhere is all that is going to get …show more content…
