I am a novice Computer owner,could a person that never built computers on his own,set up this unit with the extra parts needed

very easily. Just need a micro screwdriver and a little fearlessness (only because you've never done it before as it really is easy)

I would invest in a DVD/CD USB drive for installation. Be sure to have all the drivers available on a flashdrive.

Dunno, it's not particularly hard to assemble, but snapping into place the antennas is a bit different and while there are I structions they certainly do assume you've put together PC's in the past. Care should be taken to control static. So bottom line is if you feel uncomfortable doing something like replacing a household light switch, you may want to avoid this and go for something preassembled for you, but if you're fairly handy and detail oriented it could work for you.

Two required and one optional components need to be installed inside the case. All of these have to be purchased separately but seeing what others bought with this unit will generally get you a compatible solution. Getting into the case is four screws underneath and quite easy to take apart. The required items are the SO-DIMM RAM and the mSATA storage module. Neither is complicated but a little experience with how they click into position is helpful. The third optional component is the wireless mini PCI card, which is similar in installation to the MSATA. Since this unit does not have a CD drive you will either need to install an external USB CD drive (very easy) or make a USB flash drive boot of your operating system (complicated).

You will need to be prepared to assemble it yourself. If you have a problem, they have a no. you can call for help

Tower CPU, keyboard, mouse, and minimal documentation (DVD); power cord for tower. Very simple equipment but sufficient to get started. Enjoy

You will need additional hardware, its a p.o.s. I would look for a different system.

It would have been helpful if you had described what you intend to do. Clone what, exactly, would be a good start. And do you have any extra hardware available, such as an unused HDD that could be used for temporary storage?

I hired someone to install the system after I couldn't do it myself. Sorry, I would do the same or return it.

Yes, but the rest of their computer has to have quality parts too. 8G 1600 ram (min) and a and fx-8350 processor or comparable Intel i5

Its very easy. If you can use a small philips head screw driver, follow very easy instructions, and handle clipping some things into place, setting this machine up will be a breeze. I have been building computers for over 25 years now, and by far, this was the easiest build I have ever done. Literally up and running in 5 minutes. One note, make sure you buy the power cord (its not included in the box).

No, you have to build it. My husband was able to do it himself in a few hours during two days. Worth it, I am addicted to this machine!

It's not a hard drive - just an enclosure. You would have to provide your own drive.

No this is a barebone kit...motherboard, processor and case...u still need hard drive, memory, as well as a disc drive.

I doubt it. That was my original intent and I ended up just building a whole new system from scratch. Couldn't be happier, best system I've ever owned.

Yes, you should be able to build that kind of setup with the parts included.The set contains a booklet with 10 pre-build tracks, but those are all closed ones (Start = Finish)

I am not tech savvy at all. I cant get this system going and the cd wasnt included. I want to set up is there a place it will walk me through the steps?
1346728
Yes, but I would recommend a standard rack...mine didn't come with any hardware and I had to improvise a great deal...and I am a network administrator.

I don't think so. I didn't include instructions with the unit that said it could. I suppose if you or someone you know is really good at doing custom jobs with internal components it could be done.

No you have to provide your own hard drive and operating system. It's a bare bones system, lacking the hard drive, memory, and OS.
