November Meeting - Build a PC

John brought it, Hugh built it, Dan filmed it. John more than brought it (all the parts); he also bought all the parts. Hugh more than built it (complete assembly in 45 minutes); he explained (in great detail) each step... with wherefores and whys.

And, it fired up on first boot!!
