Bah, cpu's now will shut off before they toast themselves unless you turn that little feature off. Also they don't have pins anymore...at least externally lol.

But yes, I think w/ a small amount of direction, and all the parts picked out anyone who could change the oil in a car is competent enough to learn how to put a PC together. I really do. Plus with the support of the boards how could anything go wrong? I can pull up detailed instructions on how to apply thermal paste to all sorts of different types of CPUs if I wanted.

I had not 1 clue about computers a few years ago...nothing past putting in a cd, and hitting install. I am an extreme cheap-ass so I looked up tons, and tons to put together my first PC. Everything went perfect. Was awesome! I really think for the majority of people would have no issues putting one together.

I think you overestimate the average Americans ability to change the oil in their cars. Have you ever noticed how there's a Jify Lube on every fucking corner? They pay $50 for something that costs $15 every 3 months, IF they can REMEMBER to get it done in the first place. Where do YOU live, where such reasonable people seemingly abound?
