Have come across pc magazine articles describing the process of building your own pc. They properly not in print anymore, anyhow!
So here's a brief guideline as to how to build your own pc, since I have built my own pc.
Of course you need to go and buy all the vital components including:
1. CPU with Cooler Fan.
2. Compatible Motherboard
3. Ram module
4. HDD - with IDE cable
5. DVDRom Burner/Drive
6. Floppy Disc Drive - with cable
7. Graphic Card
8. Computer Casing with Power Supply box.
9. Modem
10. Sound Card
11. Network card (optional)
Monitor, Keyboard and mouse are items you could properly salvage from your "old" system. If not buy them too!
Bit and pieces including screws, plastic stands off ( to lift the motherboard off the enclosure). Plastic Ties.
STEP 1:
Install your motherboard first. Put plastic stands-off under motherboard. Place in position in casing and install all screws required.
STEP 2:
Mount the CPU - being careful to position as required, as the fine pins are quite soft. Take your time here. Install the Cooler Fan Heat Sink assemble. Apply the paste which add adhesion and contribute to the cooling effect on the top of CPU before clipping on the fan.
STEP 3:
Install your ram module. To facilitate easy insertion, push the white levers on both sides down. Match the gap in the ram module to the slot. Push down firmly and pull the levers back up. They will click into position.
Your brand new motherboard should come with a diagram of the ram layout. If there 3 empty slot a single ram module must be installed in the proper order. See your motherboard manual.
STEP 4:
Install the graphic card now. Why? The reason being that it's next to the ram slots. You would have to pull out the card again if you installed the ram later than before.
STEP 5:
Install all drives - the DVDRom, Floppy Disc Drive and HDD.
STEP 6:
Wiring up. Fit all your drives cabling for the HDD, floppy disk drive and DVDRom drive. These cables aid data flow between those hardware and the motherboard. Install with their red edge facing the power supply plug.
Again refer to your motherboard manual. The primary slot is meant for your HDD. The secondary slot will support an additional HDD/DVD Rom drive. The third slot support your floppy drive.
STEP 7:
Connect up the mouse, keyboard and monitor.
LAST STEP:
Finally connect up all your power plugs to the motherboard and drives. First up is the main power source from the power box. This comes in two sections that fit onto the motherboard. They should be color coded.
Your cpu fan will properly have a special power plug for it.
Time to fire it up - with fingers crossed. Press del while its booting to enter the bios and check through all the basic BIOS entries to see if everything is what you require. For example you may want to enable or disable various items - your motherboard menu will carry reccommendations for this.
If every works well at BIOS level it will go on to seek an OS in your hdd. It will of course whinge about a missing OS because you do have a brand new hdd without an OS on it as yet.
Insert your XP install disk and reboot. Press del again to enter your pc BIOS to set CDRom drive as the first boot-up device.
Reboot - start your OS install. Once Windows is up and running it's time to install other additional hardware like modems, network card, sound card.
GOOD LUCK! You may need it!

that is not any longer as complicated as soldering - that is regularly like lego yet you'll pick a screwdriver to mount the motherboard onto the case - after that that is rather common in case you comprehend what you're doing. i propose the e book upgrading and repairing desktops through Scott Mueller. Your best difficulty is going to be understanding a thanks to get the most proper effects for the money you've yet like with each thing you receives more effective positive with practice. For me the most infuriating section is wiring up the front usb ports to the motherboard yet it really is because my effective motor qualifications are not truly as a lot as that element yet with a respectable torch held through a chum or sufficiently superb mild source and 2 tweesers it should be executed.
