 Works! March 23, 2008
This book was my bible last year when i decided i wanted to build my first pc. I was tired of my video/audio integrated Dell that couldn't play any modern games or do more than two of three things at a time. With the tips and instructions in this book i built a gaming powerhouse and it works. My first time built went so well that I've been building others and am seriously leaning towards going to school for computers..something I've never done. Some things in it might be dated now but the basic foundation for most pc's hasn't changed that much in the years I've been using them.

Simply too dated. There are better articles on the internet that are both free and current.
A Computer Was Built! September 10, 2007

This was one of the 'how to' books I bought for my husband for his birthday. He had been remarking how he was tempted to build his own computer! Just last night he said he was ready to put his newly built computer in a permanent place - thanks due to several times referring to these books and got the answers he needed! He was glad to cross compare what one book said and how another might reword the same topic. Bottom line: A Computer Was Built!

This is an excellent overview of the process of building a PC, but it lacks sufficient detail to be a stand-alone cookbook. (I used it in conjunction with Robert and Barbara Thompson's "Building the Perfect PC." The two books together are a good combination.)
Best book written for the first time builder January 8, 2007

This is a very informative book on all aspects of building a PC. For a first time builder, or a novice person looking to round out their computer building skills, this book is the best. With plenty of pictures, and easy to follow directions, this guy does it all. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn!
