There comes a point were (when youve got literally no desktop PC) just a netbook that overheats playing more than a few 720p Youtube videos that you need to say enoughs enough! Cant wait to get the screwdriver out and make my first build!

Nice to see someone positive about their 1st build. People will think you a tech wizard when mates say to them, "oh he builds his own computers"
