computers are cake... just follow directions 
I built my first one when I was in 4th grade... dad upgraded do a 4x86 dx 4-100, and told me if I wanted his old computer, I had to build it... so I built it... a 4x86 sx33 with 4MB of ram, 256K Cirrus Logic video card (ISA), Sound Blaster 8, 2 200MB hdd, and a 14" monitor...

I cleaned the dust out of my computer today, it barely had any...surprising because my room is always really dusty. The filter on the front fans had a lot of dust on it, though.
h:One of my fans makes a loud noise when I first start the computer up...I think it's the PSU fan.
