Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Prebuilt computer systems are often a compromise between what manufacturers want to sell and what consumers want to buy. For those who are looking for something more than the standard PC, one solution is to build it from the ground up — a solution that, with the help of this book, is surprisingly simple. Written in concise, jargon-free English, Building a PC in Easy Steps walks the reader through every stage of building and setting up a computer: buying parts and avoiding sales scams; mastering and installing the CPU, memory, video, and other components; altering default settings in the BIOS for optimum performance; and installing and configuring device drivers. Graphics clearly illustrate every step in the process, and an invaluable troubleshooting chapter helps pinpoint any problems that may crop up. In the end, the reader has a computer system tailored to their exact requirements, built from components specifically chosen for reliability, price, and performance.

I purchased a few "How To Books" just prior to putting my Gaming PC together. This book helped almost as much as the MOB manual did. Pretty easy (indepth)information for the "NEWBIE" computer builder. Now all I need is a book on "How to" install incomplete\defective OS software.

Probably won't build PC, (OPTION IS STILL OPEN) but just reading he 1st and 2nd chapters has helped me with the computers I already have. Especially the part about WINDOWS supplied by computer manufacturers such as DELL and GATEWAY, more probably. If windows included with your purchase are not on MICROSOFT OEM CD, the full WINDOWS can't be restored. That alone has helped me. I might be slow but nobody ever told me that before. There is probably more in this book but I just got it and haven't read the whole thing yet.

I didn't buy the book yet, but I read a good chunk of it at a bookstore today! I mean I end up reading it since it was soo good, instead of looking at others! I was shopping for a recent one on PCs. I purchased "Building perfect pc" 2004 edition for 10 bucks (discounted) last week. That is a very good book as well, but as expected it is not timely for selecting today's hardware. Hence, I still need more help for selecting the right pieces.
Any way, this book covers pretty much all needed, including specific timely info on each component. Very well organized for its price, I'll say it is excellent. I would have ordered it from here last week, only if I new it was this good, and if I was awere of it of course! I'll probably go back and buy it in a few days or may be order it from here. Don't know yet..
In short, although I didn't yet purchase the book, I still owe to give at least the rightfull credit the author deserves. Pictures along with tips are usefull as well. A very good buy for the price
