IMO, almost everyone who can admin a server can build one. It's a lot simpler than
it was 30-40 years ago, a matter of assembling a modest number of parts (in rough
order for a tower form factor):

1: open the new case & lie on side
2: pop I/O shield into place
3: lay motherboard into place
4: insert screws to hold motherboard to case (4-12 count)
5: position & affix power supply with 4 screws
6: attach CPU & main power cables to motherboard
7: Drop CPU into socket (thermal paste substitute has already been applied to new
ones), & clamp it down.
8: install CPU cooler
9: install RAM
10: drop NVME(s) into socket(s) & insert 1 screw (each)
11: affix any additional internal storage devices (& optionally RAID controller)
12: position & attach the rest of the power & control cables
13: (optional) add discrete GPU
14: (optional) add more fan(s)

Optionally, CPU, RAM & NVME(s), & most CPU cooler types, can be installed to
motherboard before laying it into case. Often times the CPU power cable can be
difficult to install before the CPU cooler, or the PS itself.

>From here on, it's like a store-bought PC with cover off and no operating system.
Attach keyboard, rodent, screen, installation media, & power it up.
