I generally feel the same way as Zedbra that it isn’t worth the risk, especially if ME is testing the system prior to delivery like NCiX used to do.

I can build/repair/figure out most things but last time I bought a computer I was debating on building it myself and then I realized my $650 CPU probably wasn’t worth the risk.

I’ve had some sketchy experiences simply instaing ram that wasn’t seated properly due to my heat sink, didn’t realize anything was wrong until I smelt the burning lol


Love you said that, literally the same thing happened to me back in the day when I was assembling computers for a computer shop back in my teens. I had seated the ram in the wrong direction, booted the PC to the smell of burning, fried the entire motherboard. Needless to say, never made that mistake again.
