  yup, i believe everyone shld try their hands on DIY when they grow more confident abt fiddling with comp components... for those who r a little lost, pay just a little more to get a decent comp if there is really no one u can approach...

  I'll always rather buy a brand new comp rather than DIY myself. Cuz the time spend on researching, buying, assembling, installing etc... makes me feels that it's not worth it. I mean the time invest.

  I'm wondering - Is a PC easier or less easier to spoilt if you leave it on permanently.

  in my opinion, it will make the lifespan of the components shorter, that is, comp will spoil faster... esp if the cooling system in ur comp is not adequate enuff to dissipate the heat away fast enuff...
  
  but then again, u dun need to be too paranoid, because the components are built with a sufficiently large amt of tolerance to heat... unless u so suay kena faulty components... ...
  
  if possible, try not to on the comp 24/7... even if nothing happens to your comp, spare a thot for the person paying the electrical bills...

  Install antivirus and anti spyware.
  
  Defrag ur hdd once a month.
  
  Clean ur registry with some reg cleaners.
  
  Don't anyhow open email links or pop ups.. might lead to viruses.
