How to Build a Computer - 2013 Edition!

CareyHolzman

description

This is the most detailed, thorough and comprehensive PC build video I've ever created. It resulted in a ton of re-shoots to achieve better angles and better lighting through more aggressive editing techniques. As a result, combined with clearer narration, it's total running time will be two hours. For the real 'Novice' viewer, there is no better video available. And for the advanced system builders making their own videos, the bar just got raised! Enjoy!
