Built

It is increasingly popular to build your own
computer. In most cases, it saves money, and it
guarantees you get what you want. It also assures you
avoid proprietary designs many companies use to keep you
coming to them for new parts. Best of all, having built
the system yourself, you become very familiar with that
system and with computers in general.
Should you tackle the project of building your own
computer? Well, there is no reason not to. Even if you
know nothing about computers, if you have a desire to
learn them, then you can. And once you know the basics,
you can build! You can learn as you go. In my opinion,
it is best to do this at least once. If you go to buy a
pre-built PC by HP or Compaq, they are fine. But, keep
in mind that, often, PC manufacturers reduce price by
using lesser quality parts. Also, if you do not know
you're ass from a PC, you can be certain the salesman
will pick up on that and really take advantage of it.
I'm not saying all computer salesmen are dishonest, but
you wouldn't believe some of the stories I've heard. In
short, you need to know what you're talking about. We
help you do this on PC Mechanic and I think you will
find this tutorial in particular quite helpful.
In the following pages, you will find the steps to
building your own PC. Enjoy!
