lol whatever you say man. I'll believe the TC on a cold day in hell, most 11 years hardly have the attention span in this day and age to do any thing beyond 5 minutes let alone intensive sessions of puting a computer together and geting it to work right.
you better be under the age of 15 cause even 8 years ago in 2000 it was a intensive process to put together a computer, let alone beyond 10 years ago when compared to this day and age pc's were still in they're infancy.

my dad was an electrician for johns hopkins university in MD, he often brought home non-working computers 286s/386s around 1992, but because he worked 60hrs a week, he had no time to do anything with any of them
i was 9 years old in 1992 when i decided to pull parts from a half dozen computers and piece them together, without parental guidance, without previous knowledge or instruction, and without any books or internet to help
it was actually QUITE EASIER to piece them together, and get them working right back then. when pcs were in there infancy as you say, there was no "OMG is this part gonna work with this part?". if it fit in the slot, it worked. putting a comp together wasnt a long process, it took me all of 10mins to open 3 comp cases, unsrew parts and screw into a single case. and another 2mins to put in a floppy disk and start the formating process for do. all to play a game of commander keen
nowadays it takes a significant amount of time longer, but still no where as long as you are claiming. if i have parts for a computer in front of me i can have it booted from scratch in 15mins, the hardest part being the placement of the wires from the front panel to the mobo the only thing that really requires a look into the mobo manual. now the most confusing part of putting a comp together is in the purchasing process, trying to figure out what works with what.
