When it comes to technology, what is one thing you won't do? Such things could be taking something apart, upgrading a part, hacking your hardware/software, ect.

I probably won't take apart my computer parts like RAM, videocard, and try to fix it.

I would never put a custom PC together, fun as it might be, I know it be too much of a headache.

I want to put together a custom PC if I had more money to spend on fun things. I need more money since the computer parts I want to use are very expensive.

I think putting together custom PCs have became easier since you don't usually need to take out a soldering iron or use jumpers in most custom PC builds.

I may build custom PC is I can make hundreds to thousands of dollars by building custom PCs, writing ebooks and blog posts on building custom PC, and publishing online showing people how to build custom PCs. Custom PC building can be a complicated job, but I rather build PCs than work at a fast food restaurant, or a cashier at a store where face to face conversations with customers can be stressful.

Maybe easier, but depending how far you're willing to go with it, the process can still be complicated. If you want to hook up many different cooling fans and a lot of wires, just missing one step can force you to redo the whole thing. Had someone bring in their custom rig once, wanted help finishing it as everything powered on but he didn't get a signal to a monitor and despite checking the video card still nothing. Eitherway, he had to gut and redo it all over just to figure out the problem.

I agree, it can be complicated. But, it is a good idea to test the basic parts like RAM, motherboard, CPU, CPU cooler, hard drive power supply, case, USB ports before adding more parts like video card, sound card to the PC. Most CPU's have a video chip built-in, so you can run basic Linux OS to test the RAM and CPU with Memtest x86 RAM tester.

I think its kind of hard to test those as you go along, wouldn't you need a fully assembled motherboard before testing any of it?
