Tired of computer shop Rip-Off Artists? Here's how
you can build a custom pc for much less!!
If you don't want to
search the internet for information on building your own custom PC you may want
to look a the
Build a Custom PC manual
This is my project to buy the parts and build a custom pc.
This system is for my wife, she is not a "Computer Guru" by any means, all she
knows is "I click on the Icon and it works." And if it doesn't' work I am in
deep doo doo. She uses the system for email, Quicken for our finances, downloading
all the vacation pictures, viewing pictures sent by various family members, and
plays a solitaire game now and then. Her old system does have a Web cam for
connecting to our family in the UK, but so far no one there has shown any
interest in getting theirs setup.
So I need a system that will run email, quicken, solitaire, the web cam, and
down load and view jpegs, mpegs.
I could buy her another system but I would be in the same position I am in now
in three or four years, she has a Compaq Deskpro Mini Tower that is four years
old, I have upgraded the processor to 1.8ghz, added a 40 gig hard drive and
maxed the memory out to 784meg. I don't want to be in the proprietary dead end
again so I will build a custom pc.
I have the project broken down in to four chapters:
