I actually haven’t ever built a computer that didn’t boot on the first try. The closest I came, somehow, was my cousin’s PC. I got it all built, I pushed the power button, and nothing happened. A quick glance around the case and a chuckle later, I pushed the Reset button and the power light came on and it booted to the BIOS.
Is this really such a common occurrence? I’ve built 5 or 6 systems in my life and the only time it didn’t boot instantly was when I accidentally bought the wrong RAM.
It was a miracle on my 3rd or 4th build when I just put everything together and it worked on first try. Didn’t even have to make a blood sacrifice.

Sacrilege, the machine spirit needs its blood!
He said thay he didn’t have to, not that he didn’t.
You don’t always have to charge the machine spirit.

I usually forget to plug in a cable or two or miss the PSU switch among other silly mistakes. Never killed a machine, though.
Oh sure, I didn’t even count that. Probably has happened to me as well.
