I thought first to build a cheap computer for less than 200$ and only later continue to build more expensive computer but the person who I talked with him suggest that first thing I try to build some old computer that he already has when I get the parts of it and if I can do it I will continue to the next step. I said that I will think about it and I suspect that it is possible that it may be harder because when I choose relevant parts of the computer that I plan to buy I already can choose them in a way that it is easier to build it. Another problem is that it is possible that there are better instructions for the parts that people here can suggest me to buy than the instructions for parts of some old computer so the task may be harder inspite of the advantage of being able to see the process of getting the parts from the original old computer.
