There's no specific requirement that you have experience, just a recommendation. It's also recommended that you have your A+ and Net+ first as the tests tend to build off of each other a lot.
It is highly recommended that you study the material for the test. Go to www.comptia.org and get a download of the exam objectives and get a good book.

No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

I whole heartedly agree. I watched the Nuggets for this exam and read Darill's book front to back and Darill's book definitely takes the cake.
As others have said, anyone can take the test. If you are just entering IT, this shouldn't be your first stop. Usually people go A+, Net+, Sec+, as they build on each other.
DO study... and use Darril Gibson's book... Get Certified Get Ahead.
.. and do some research on your own. Darrils book is good but to me there needs to be more real world examples. I'm taking this on the 10th (I hope) and I will make my notes available sometime soon.
