Are you building a new computer from scratch, or are you adding another one? I just installed one a couple weeks ago for the first time, and it was pretty easy for the most part. Plug it in to the motherboard and the power supply, screw it in to the case, and then configure it to Windows, which was the most time-consuming part, because I got a 160GB hard drive. Microsoft says that Windows SP1 is configured to recognize hard drives that big, but it only showed up as 137GB. It took me an hour or two to figure out how to get it to full capacity (149GB), but the solution turned out to be pretty simple.

But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.
