How long does it take for you to put your computer together?

I've taken everything except the drives and motherboard out to clean it. Never thought to strip the whole thing down.
But I can build a brand new machine in about 45 minutes.

exactly, it's not about how long it takes, it's about the end product!

procrastination??? Who procrastinates when building their new build????? lol
It took me a few hours to do so (because I had to get a new PSU)
But yeah I didn't want to rush things like people previously stated^^

It's not a new build though, just a cleaning out and a reformat.So, i went to bed around 6 30 am, then my brother comes and wakes me up at 10, sometimes I just want to beat his ass. Anyways, i couldn't get sleep after, so...
Vista had a tough time installing. It kept hanging, then when it finally went forward, it told me that the dvd drive needs a driver (WTF!!!), then i just switched up the ide cable and it worked (TG), so it finally installed and now i'm downloading all those drivers. I learned my lesson, after I have all my stuff installed, i'm gonna image this thing.

An hour for a decent build with proper wire management that won't cause heat issues and overall looks tidy.
That's what I bill when I build them, and usually is on par, sometimes more sometimes less, but generally really close to an hour.
edit-
Also I don't see the huge deal with an electric screwdriver? The threads are so short it doesn't seem like it would be to the point where it would save loads of time over a nice screwdriver.

To put something off, like "I'll do homework later after I go eat pie"

This info is relevant..

Oh, if it's just the regular cleaning then yeah, I procrastinate on that too
Some of the cases I've used have had some downright stupid screw positions (i.e. right next to case sides, so a normal screwdriver gets in at an angle so I've had to necessitate the use of the rather long extension we have for the drill heads. It doesn't seem to save that large amount of time but sometimes it's saved my sanity! I think I'd add about 2 minutes of me swearing with a manual screwdriver normally...

Before i got my new CPU HS i could do it in 20 minutes give or take a minute or 2, now though it is fiddly as hell, takes 35 minutes minimum to fiddle with the mobo tray, get it around the wires, get it on the processor in the first place...it is a good heatsink but fiddly as hell

Around an hour, as i take everything out(mobo, psu, etc) and clean the dust and all out, reapply TIM to mobo, and cpu, etc.
