    Built mine about 12 years old before YouTube existed. Honestly can’t remember where i learned. I think i just guessed. I’d previously taken apart my parents because i was that kind of kid so that’s probably it. There’s not many things that can go in the wrong place and cause damage.

    My dad saw me doing it and quit his job as a butcher to start a business doing pc repairs and sales. This was around 2001.

      I built my PC in 2006ish so YouTube existed but I doubt anyone was doing PC building tutorials then. The thing that pushed me over the edge to building vs getting a pre built was seeing an episode of How It’s Made where they were building PCs and I was like damn that looks easy as shit, I was not wrong.
