oh, god, sorry, the first vid should have much more CALMING music. Try this one.

I think that you shouldn't have a metal track on a calm, meticulate process. You want to be reassured, not scared by the building.

bah humbug!
I agree with duke (that most people know how to build a pc)
But it could be a ok idea. There are loads of ways to build a pc and also differences between cases & installation procedure (ie - drives first or mobo first - often depends on the case & if it has a removable mobo tray).
Will be interesting to see how it goes, altho as I'm a bit oldskool (I'm sure XMS/Jim will agree) I think articles showing people how to build computers can have its downsides
mainly in that the general public begin building pc's and online retailers begin to get more and more things RMA'd for silly errors
bah humbug, it's not like the old days
Looking at the youtube video, I already can see some possible problems with the genral public (ie- put fingers in a socket to 'discharge yourself 
)
Aswell as a huge lapse in technique & general respect for components
Also no offence to the people who made it but the music makes it seem cheesy and boring, what's wrong with talking your way thru a howto/guide? (maybe music to begin/intro)

Music can be good, but you can use voice as well, especially if you have a reassuring voice. However, a good guide, does have to be long. No question. If you go fast, people get confused. You have to cover EVERYTHING. for instance, the good guide i exibited says, "discharge yourself". Before i learnt about PCs, i would have said, "what the hell? why is he putting his finger in a plug????" You need to be nice and specific.

name='Jim' said:Here's the text version:
1. Buy a gigabyte board.
2. Plug everything in to the corresponding colour-coded ports.
3. Press power button
I think that's about it for a basic guide these days.
So much different in comparison to the days when you had to work out the multi and FSB to set the cpu speed using jumpers and also setting the CPU VCore with jumpers etc etc...
Won't be long before they have monkeys building pc's
