Hi guys,

I'm just gonna throw out an idea. I am looking to build my first system but am terribly afraid that I'm gonna screw something up and fry the entire system. So, I am wondering if there are any computer nerds in San Francisco, CA who would like to help walk me through the system build IN-PERSON.

Before hand, we can exchange e-mails about the specific components to get, post it on HardForum to solicit other opinions and settle on a final build. Then, I order all the stuff and you can come over and help me build the system.

Of course, I will compensate you for your time. I'm not sure what I can offer that is of value. Maybe food? Beer?

Sound good?
 
Interesting idea. I live near Walnut Creek in the east bay. When I first learned to build I had the help of the local SysOps on the bulliten boards back in 1994. The first system I built was an Intel i386-DX 16mhz with 8MB of RAM for running my BBS. Ah memories...

Anyway, it sounds like we almost need a HardOCP Guru meeting or something?
 
you know, i've just spent the past 4 hours reading install guides...i think i'm gonna fly solo on this one...still need to finish researching parts tho....
