Are there any video tutorials for building a computer?

[Azureth]

I'm a visual learner, meaning I can understand things a lot better by watching instead of reading, so I was wondering if there were any step-by-step video guides out there to building one?

Just hopped on you tube and found this:

There's parts V, VI, VII, etc... it seems pretty decent.. though not in depth, since it's hard to go in depth with computers, there's so many different parts.

There's some other good ones on the related section.

I love how everything was so obvious for him...plug this into the obvious spot...put that in the obvious place...everything should be pretty obvious...haha

It is.. you will have to do reading and kinda figure things out, because there's so many different layouts of motherboards and different types of components.

Azureth, it's scary looking at everything before hand, but trust me it's a good time. The hardest part for me is ALWAYS putting the heatsink on the cpu, I just don't understand.

Well, the hardest part is actually probably the I/O panel, that thing is a pain like no other.

Reading the manuals on all components is very important. Especially the mobo one. For example, depending on the motherboard for the RAM to run in dual channel, sometimes they need to be plugged in to slot 1-2 and sometimes they need to be plugged into slot 1-3. Aside from the readings, the most difficult part/scary part is probably installing the CPU and HSF mounting. Everything else just plugs into the connector that looks like it...

Here is a series of videos from Expert Village on building a computer. (The entire series can also be found on YouTube, in no particular order.) I haven't viewed all of the videos, but they seem to be better organized than the How Stuff Works videos referenced earlier.

thnx, keepvid.com will start working now
