If i remember correctly, when I used to work at a computer store, I can put together a basic computer in under 23 minutes.

Where are you starting it at though? Taking out the stuff from shipping and then original boxes and wrapping?

It's hard to time people if they don't have the same things. Some boxes are done worse than others. So much factors to this. Though, I always take my time. Speed does not mean anything to me. I take like 2-3 hours. (I know NOOB, but I like it) I also include installing Vista and programs. Then the updates take even longer than 3 hours then. Sometimes longer because I don't know what to install.

Assembly times vary, depends on the components used, case type, fans, accessories, cooling method and system, etc.
A basic mobo drive and monitor with psu and ram can be assembled very quickly. Add aftermarket cooling and case mods and the numbers go up into the weeks, and eat up all your spare time.
Usually though, once you have built your own first rig, you will never pay someone else to do it for you ever again!
18, I rush it hard. Get it to power on and then fix it

God, yes! Spent more time trying reroute cabling than building, installing the OS AND 120+ programs! Just when you get it right, something happens and you need to pull it out again (like removing some hardware).
Worst thing about computer building for me isn't if the rig can be built in under 30 minutes (it can if the case is new; if the older motherboard is taken out; wiring is moved away; the case cleaned and other odd jobs), it's the 1001 tiny cuts on the hands all these electronics offer (like the solder points behind the motherboard) and pushing and shoving building requires. Stings like 1001 salted wounds for a week, too. :swearing:
