Build A Computer Like My Super PC

Assemble - Free Instructions

You can build your own desktop, Lan Party, SOHO (small office home office) or gaming PC with my free step-by-step illustrated instructions. I list every computer part used, down to the smallest screw. Get great deals on quality computer hardware using my Build A Computer Like My Super PC - Cost To Build A Computer recommendations. The main thing you need to bring is the desire to do it.

Building your own computer gets you the PC you want. By doing so you'll learn a lot about computers and know your own PC in detail. You'll save money, too, even though large computer makers keep costs down by using lesser quality parts, low-performance parts (except for the processor since they know you'll understand that), charging outrageous mark-ups for upgrades, and cancelling your warranty if you do-it-yourself for the upgrade.

My free assembly instructions provide the complete step-by-step sequence on how to assemble a 32-bit computer and a 64-bit computer. The baseline steps are for a computer based on a 32-bit motherboard, the EPoX EP-8RDA+. Where there are differences, duplicate steps are included to describe a computer based on a 64-bit motherboard, the MSI K8N Neo Platinum. In addition, a number of step variations are included to address common differences in building a computer, such as:

Building a computer using a standard IDE parallel ATA (PATA) hard drive versus using a serial ATA (SATA) hard drive.

Building a computer with or without a RAID configuration.

Building a computer using the sound capabilities built into the motherboard versus using an add-on sound card.

Building a computer using an ATI based video card versus using an NVIDIA based video card.

And multiple examples of BIOS settings, device connections and more.

So here, step-by-step, in great detail, with tons of pictures, is my very own Computer Assembly - How to Assemble Your Own PC Guide! Enjoy!

Or if you prefer, my computer assembly instructions are now available, complete, in book form! This page describes the book.
