If you have done alot of BIOS work it should be easy, cause eventually you just know what is supposed to be set to what from seeing it so many times in the past.

In certain cases (literally), managing not to bleed all over the components is pretty difficult. Stupid sharp edges...

But actually, I haven't ever built a computer myself. Just installed all the different components.

its really pretty easy to figure out. dont worry if it takes some time. you can always go back later and tweak stuff.

The BIOS will pretty much auto-detect everything anyways, so that's not a big deal. Personally the biggest problem I had was getting the damn fan on to the CPU. Of course, that was a Pentium III, and the fans then were more stupid (or so I've heard).

yea heh what kinda tweaking can be done after installing everything?

Its really simple, BIOS isnt hard at all. And how can you cut yourself on the parts?

it happens, when i was working in a computer shop i'd say i'd cut myself on systems once a month or so, usually because i wasn't paying attention, and most of the time you dont even realize your cut until you look at your hand and see blood gushing, heh.
