I noticed I hadn't posted an introduction so here I go.

My name is Daniel and I am 14 years old. I have a strong intrested in computers and I am reading up on basic pc skills then im going to move onto other things like how to troubleshoot, build a computer etc. I came to Technibble to learn new things and to interact with computer repair technicians.

Welcome to Technibble. Fourteen years old is a great age to get started. A great way to learn is to get your hands on some old PC's. When I was your age I collected computers and parts from "hard garbage" which is when people put out large bits of garbage for the council to collect (its clean, like wood, furniture, toys etc..).

I would pick up full computers or just take out certain parts like RAM and Harddrives (never ever mess with an old power supply though, its not worth it). I would build up whole computers with these old parts and get them running nicely learning things along the way. Best of all, if I screwed up and broke something, I can just put it back out front where it came from.

That sounds pretty good. I already used to go to the local rubbish tips and they would give me then but they can't anymore.
