# How To Assemble A Desktop PC/Conclusion

If you\'re serious you've probably at least glanced over this book as
you considered building your own computer, and I hope it has inspired
you to go ahead with that project. Throughout we've tried to steer you
clear of some of the pitfalls and alert you to some of the safety issues
involved, and in so doing, we have undoubtedly overemphasized the
dangers and difficulty. In sooth, it's pretty hard to hurt yourself
building a computer and most people get through their first build
without burning up any parts. With a little planning, anyone who can use
a screwdriver can build a computer.

The computer you build will always mean a little bit more to you than
one you buy, not least because you designed it yourself and will no
doubt be upgrading it from time to time for years to come. You may find
a little smile of satisfaction creeping onto your face each time you hit
the power button, and I think you'll find that smile is an ample return
for your time and effort.

Lastly, if you go through with it and build your own PC, you're bound to
run into something we\'ve missed here; a problem we didn't anticipate,
something we forgot to mention, or something that has changed recently.
If you do, please come back here and add to or change this book. You
don't have to know everything to contribute, just one thing that's true.
If this guide has helped you at all, think of it as payback.
