One issue missed by many is MB heat management. Originally server boards placed
components far apart (intel). Now you use coordinated fans, air guides, etc.
Make sure your fans work with each other and not against...air needs to flow
through the box, preferrably reaching cpu, ram and drives.
I'd say 2 hours, 2.5 with OS installation for Linux, 3 for Windows.
I would give a bit more time for the software install. You don't have
to be there the whole time but it takes a while for 'yum update' or
windows update to run. You can walk away but need to keep looking at
it to click OK

I have been buying these barebones systems from Asus and Shuttle.All the
panel connections have already been made and you just install the
CPU,Ram,and drives.Big time saver.

Y'all gave me some advice on low-cost PC parts. Put the computer
together today. Took me about two hours to do the basic assembly (damn
cheap case; brute force required to get screw holes in DVD RW drive to
line up with slots in drive bay; blood sacrifice followed) and ...
another two hours to
