Building a PC for Dummies (4th ed)

This book includes information on new components such as Pentium 4 processors, larger capacity and faster RAM, 3D graphics cards, and more.

It shows technical do-it-yourselfers, how to create the computer system of their dreams for less than what computer manufacturers charge.

It gradually eases the reader through installing a hard drive and other storage devices, hooking up CD and DVD drives, connecting the sound card, installing a modem, adding a scanner, printer and speakers, and much more.

The new edition contains nearly forty percent new material to help users design and build the specific system they want, rather than buying a PC in a store or online.

Mark Chambers has authored more than fifteen computer books.
