PC building race creates new record

Mike223 · 3 Feb 2011 at 16:17

A new record has been set at an annual competition to build a computer as fast as possible.

Journalist Stephen Fung put a PC together in just over four minutes at the Build Your Own PC Race for Charity in Las Vegas.

Contestants had to pack identical components into computer cases and connect their machines to the organiser's network.

LJ Rich met the racers.

Doesn’t really matter as it’s just a fun charity event.
