The document summarizes the process of building a personal computer over multiple sessions with help from Mr. Vadner. In the first session, the author researched components on their own but most were too expensive. In the second session, meeting with Mr. Vadner helped finalize an affordable parts list. The third session involved assembling the hardware with some minor issues. The final session had the author complete the build and install software on their own, taking a long time but with no major trouble.
