I'll throw my name into the 'people who dont mind building computers for random forum members' hat

Step 1 make tea
Step 2 read instructions
Step 3 make more tea
Step 4 read instructions some more
Step 5 Tea + chocolate digestives
Step 6 Tentatively start assembling computer
etc etc

My first build took 2 days, taking it extra slow, can put one together now within an hour

Wow, cheers for the replies again, but I'm looking for Luton based builders, not towns or cities miles away.

And yes I know that I would probably get hooked straight away if I began, but reading topics isn't like looking at someone doing it, I'm sure if someone in real life showed me then I would be a meister straight away.

Many have offered you help and so far and you have turned it down there for I think you must have seen pictures of us and want nothing to do with us

In that case I think you have 2 options:
A)Take it to a local PC shop and hope they dont scam you
B)Watch a load of videos on YouTube, read the build guide in GH and do it yourself posting on here if you encounter any problems. Then sit back and laugh at how easy it is and feel warm inside for learning a new skill.

Why buy the components without knowing a way of assembling them?

EDIT: I give up.

You guys seem to keep me nagging to build it myself so I will try, wish me luck!

Good luck. Take it slow, think about it logically and if in doubt ask about!

The only nervy part to be honest is fitting an aftermarket cpu cooler, thermal compound spreads faster than AIDS and if the bracket is fiddly it is a pain.
The rest honestly consists of one way fitting items. If it doesn't look like it'll fit, it probably wont.

Just go for it. I built my pc gradually from about £400 worth of hardware and I was scared ****less, running flawless!

Hiya, does anyone know of any really good and trustworthy PC builders based in Luton? I am really blank at this stuff and I really need help building a PC and I need to find someone, so if you known anyone please post, is it also possible for them to come to my house or do I need to take all my equipment to them? Less of a hassle that would be, but still if I need to go to their shop or something then no problem.

Cheers

I will help you for the price of 45 Liters of petrol !
