PC-BUILDING GUIDE


This guide is intented to help people who want to build there own PC. The guide contains a lot of pictures with information. I took the pictures by myself and the computer described is my most recent machine, bought January 2002. It was my first computer build by myself. I bought all the components apart. It isn't so difficult and I learnt a lot.

The most important step is to decide which components to buy. There's a lot of stuff around and I really recommend to study all the differences. Knowing what you buy is important. I wanted  a high-end PC with good components at a reasonable price.
