Thats pretty much all you need to know about me. I'm a huge car buff, I love cars have been messing around with them since I was 12. Started by changing the oil in my parent's cars. I got into Graphics design and Programming at first and after a stint with that I decided to stick with cars and gaming. Love electronics design and etch PCBs in my free-time. I am a member of my schools Science Olympiad team (Events: Circuit Lab, Robot build, Electric Vehicle Build.). I have never built a computer before though, I know the basics but probably will need a ton of help as this will be my first PC build. I do have fabrication experience because I helped with many engine builds and installing parts on friends cars.

I'm looking into a nice Lian-Li case for my first build for LAN parties and general gaming and the likes. If any one has any automobile related questions or driving related questions since I have done racing school and have been driving stickshift for longer than I legally should have, feel free to ask me. I have a list of builds that I want to do such as car themed computer, a wooden computer, a computer that is wired into a room so all parts are integrated into the walls(helped a friend out to put a computer into his room like this, but I did most of the labor, so I really don't know much about building such as which parts go where and what I need to get).

I know the basics parts to get (hard drives, ram, mother board, processor, optical drives, graphics cards, fans, and chassis) thats about all I know. I don't have the slightest clue as to what wires to get which wire goes where.

I think this is a long enough post, I really appreciate any help that I can get and hopefully plan to start my first build sometime in May just trying to save up some money and learn as much as I can.
