Compilation Of Computer Building Guides

[ckaz]

Hi there, I bought a book the other day to help me out when assembling my computer. It is the up-to-date "Building Your Own PC (for dummies). The book has helped me out alot, but just in case there is anything that it doesn't cover, or that i'm not able to understand specifically from that book, I would appreciate having other resources close by. What I'm asking is to compile a list of the online and free guides people either know of, or have successfully used in the past.

I came accross a 23 part video on how to build a computer that some new builders might find helpful.

Videos 1-13 are on choosing parts and 14-23 are on assemblying the system. I only watched a bit of the first one myself, but new builders might find some helpful suggestions or just comfort in watching another do it. For some reason I see no videos on either choosing or installing the video card.

Searching on YouTube also returns a list of other videos that might help take some of the apprehension out of a new build:
