Building a nightmare

I buy the components for my computer and then build the whole system. One time, after putting everything together, the system wouldn't boot. After about twenty minutes, I realized that the SATA cable to the hard drive wasn't properly plugged in. 

The unfortunate mistakes mentioned here were more costly.

“This took place when I was about 22 I think which would be roughly 13 years ago. I can't remember the CPU socket type of model but it was a top of the line intel. I was building a new PC and based on the recommendation of my brother, who was great with PCs, I ordered some arctic silver along with my gear. He had sent me the Newegg link. Unfortunately, I never reviewed the one he chose. So after I got the parts and was building it, for some reason I had to remove the CPU. Well, it wouldn't come off. Turns out he had unknowingly picked out the adhesive cement version of the arctic silver.

Damn.
