On a seperate note, should I be concerned by all the claiming? Lol, I did think it was pretty amazing that the thread had got 10 replies in the space of a few minutes lol.... so uh, claimed eh?

Good advice there.

General hardware is pretty good for these things. Take a look around the 'Spec me threads' - Might find some good ideas in there.
 
Welcome Naomi,

Browse the Hardware section and sub forums, there is often a lot of informative discussion going on in there as well as a few stickied threads with guides and info. Although you may not intend to overclock a lot of the best information is in this sub forum.
 
Lol I'm chuckling away here... hello all and yes, I'm a woman...and I'm a real one too lol.

Thanks Le_Petit_Lapin, I've heard the lego analogy before lol, which is good cause I loved lego as a kid... I made me some kick-ass lego villages in my time :D

I'm still a little concerned by the claiming but I can cope lol :D

Welcome!
You're in the ideal situation for a bit of self-building fun if you've got a spare rig doing nothing. Like you say, have a poke around and see what's what. However if you're able to access the internet at the same time as building the machine then it's a piece of cake, just find a self-build guide and follow the instructions (or if you're like me, the pictures).
Water-cooling's a bit more advanced, though I understand choosing the right one is often the hardest part. I've never dabbled in that side of things tho, I'm sure there are plenty here who have.

Lol where to start...

Well, actually yeah, where I should start would be a good place to start at!

Cheers for the tips on the other boards, I really couldn't decide where was best to place the important first post so I hit GD for the sake of safety lol. I shall start nosing around...right after I make myself the toasted cheese sandwich I've been longing for, for about 3 hours!
:D

Building a PC is a cakewalk. If you have half a brain, you will have no problems at all. You also came to the right forums to ask for advice (though, probably shouldn't have in General Discussion).

Build a PC - it's good fun when it's your first time :)

Hey,

Yeah I have this old stack I'm guessing the contents of it are pretty crappy, I can't remember when I bought it, but I know I palmed it off on a sister "for the kids" back in maybe 2003/04, but she's never used it so I'm getting it back so I can pull the poor thing apart and try and work out what looks like what...not much use wanting to build a machine with dual graphics cards if I can't identify where they go lmao.

If I lost access to the internet I'd probably self-implode anyway so I wouldn't even consider starting something like this without the internet to talk me through it lol...so on that note, can anyone recommend any good guides (pictures would be awesome lmao)?

Meh - go straight for the main thing. It's seriously easy to build one. You just have to remember that 'if it doesn't fit, don't force it.'
