I don't know mate.... ::)...!
I've always built my own computers up since the first 286's so I've had plenty of practice over the years...!

I would suggest that you see if you have a mate who is reasonably good at it, and done it before, and assemble the computer together... 8)...!
You can help each other out then...two heads are better than one, in sorting out problems... ;)...!
....all those cables, jumpers, switches, etc, etc,.... :'(...!
LOL...LOL...LOL...!

All the best mate.... ;D...!

P.S. 512 Mb of ram will be sufficient.
