how do i make a computer?

Question

any one who knows how to make a computer

Answer 1

See the first link. Since you are taking this step, install UBUNTU.

Ubuntu is a free, reliable and up to date operating system. Once you have it installed, you gain access to over 5,000 free programs.

Answer 2

Go to computer shop and buy the following:-
1/ keyboard
2/ monitor
3/ motherboard with sound, graphics, internet, USB all built in.
Also with CPU and ram memory.
4/ power supply
5/ hard disk
6/ cd writer drive
7/ mouse
8/ cables
9/ computer case
10/ software programs ( maybe start with windows XP pro.)

Did I forget anything? No need for a floppy drive...

Get as much advice from the shop as you can, and make sure that they will help you out if you have some problems.

Then just keep on asking questions because it isn't just a matter of a few screws and it works. Sometimes it can be a pain in the backside to get them working right..

Good luck.

PS Before you buy, check to see if you are going to save money going down this path. There are some good deals out there on new computers from time to time.

Answer 3

Depends what you are after... if you're after a cheap PC to use at home, don't bother to make one, it's not worth the effort. It's cheaper to buy one from new.

If you want to make a computer from scratch... you could make it out of gears (see Babbedge and his difference engine... a victorian brass and steel computer) or out of valves, semiconductors, integrated circuits or pre-built units like a CPU and motherboard. But you need a design for the machine. You can probably find a plan somewhere on the internet for whatever type of computer you want to build.

So, too large a question to answer...

Alternatively, buy it chocolates and speak nicely to it... and hope it's not got a steady date already.

Answer 4

Making a computer is really fairly simple... the problem comes to make a computer that is entirely compatible and runs as quickly as possible.

Case, motherboard, ancilliary cards, power supply, drives... I mean it's not magic. The problem comes with the compatibility of different components. Take a look at "Maximum PC" very good mag for folks that want to do what you want to do. You'll see sets of components that 'play well' together and so you can buy them and be assured of a good machine.

good luck
