This is me building my first computer. I was 11 years old. It took me months to research how to build it but only about a day to put it together. It's very customizable; By that I mean that you can put new parts in it to make it run better. I have a printer, a 21 inch screen and a DVD drive. AND a great speaker system with a SUBWOOFER. AND a joystick for video games. AND a killer video accelerator card! I am running two operating systems; windows and linux. It is not hard to build a computer; if, you do the proper research!
Here's the moment of truth when my computer first booted up in BIOS.
A few of years ago I started learning Java. It is a great language to learn if you want to put cool things on the WWW, like the spaceman dude at the top of my page. If you follow in my footsteps and the code looks confusing at first, keep in mind that Java is meant to be understood by human beings. So stick with it. For starters I recommend the book Java Programming for Dummies. Here is an awesome applet from the book. It is a Rubik's Cube that was written by Karl Hornell. Solving Rubik's cubes is another hobby of mine.Some words from Karl: I tried to make the user interface as simple and obvious as possible. Twist or rotate by pointing and dragging in "natural" directions.
