Hi,

I was curious as to what problems anyone has encountered building there 
own PC.

What technical problems did you encounter? (compatability between 
components, etc)

How much electronics know-how is required? I understand home power 
circuits, lighting, etc. and have installed a couple of intruder alarms 
but have next to no knowledge about electronics at all.

Roughly how much would it cost to build a 486dx266 PC with 4mb ram and 
about a 500 mb hard drive?

What cost difference is there between Vesa local bus and ISA?

I don't imagine the task to be *too* difficult, is it? 

All the best,
             Alan.
