I did a lot of hardware maintenance on computers back in the 80s, when things were actually more cramped and difficult inside most computer cases, we didn't have "screwless" mounts for disk drives, etc. Aside from a hard drive replacement a few years ago, I really haven't done any significant hardware work since then ...
But I've been accumulating the parts I need for a new computer for a few months, now. At this point I'm really just procrastinating, but I should be getting into it in a few weeks.
Keep in mind that there are a few sites that provide "kits" of parts for builders with all, or most of the parts you'll need. It can be easier and (a little) cheaper to go this route if they have specs that meet your needs, especially if you're looking for something off the beaten path -- like a gamer PC, a media PC, etc.
