Question: how long did it take you to build the computer you built?

Well, it took 2 weeks for the parts to arrive, and then it took maybe 3-4 hours to get everything put together and running properly.

It’s quite straightforward, you just have to screw the power supply and motherboard into place, attach the CPU (That can be a bit tricky, but take your time and make sure you’ve earthed yourself and won’t destroy it with a static shock), pop in your memory, graphics card, and hard disks, and put the power plugs in the right sockets. Most of the 3-4 hours was spent waiting for the OS to install.
