Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Built mine about 12 years old before YouTube existed. Honestly can't remember where i learned. I think i just guessed. I'd previously taken apart my parents because i was that kind of kid so that's probably it. There's not many things that can go in the wrong place and cause damage.

My dad saw me doing it and quit his job as a butcher to start a business doing pc repairs and sales. This was around 2001.

I read that as you took apart your parents because it was missing the possessive.

My kid has a marketable skill. I should quit my job and exploit it.

Gamer move right there

I built my PC in 2006ish so YouTube existed but I doubt anyone was doing PC building tutorials then. The thing that pushed me over the edge to building vs getting a pre built was seeing an episode of How It's Made where they were building PCs and I was like damn that looks easy as shit, I was not wrong.
