As my old computer has pretty much been powered by a tired hamster in a wheel for the past eighteen months, I decided it was time to empty my piggy bank and purchase a new one that could cope with games made in the past four years. After looking at the specs I wanted and the cost of pre-built machines, I decided to build my own. How hard can it be, I thought?
Posing this very question to my friends and colleagues resulted in polarised opinions that fell into one of two camps:
1) Get a professional to do it; you'll fry every component just by looking at it, so leave it alone.
2) It's just like expensive Lego; so long as you don't try to build it in the bath, you'll be fine.
I always liked Lego, so I decided to give it a punt.
