Viper9000 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Don't just do the research to find the best componets make sure too look at the manufacturers benchmark specs and compatibility ratings for the other components in your pc. You can normally find that information right on the site.if the thread is old or not i figured i would throw in my two bitspc specs.3.4 GHz HT 775 Socket (found the 3.6HTX to unstable inpast)2 Gig DDR2 Ram (4 chips dual channel mode)Intel 925XCV Board2x200Gig Sata (Stripe Volumed)DVD-Ram Drive (LG)CD-RW 52x32x52 (LG)GeForce 6600 PCI-E 256mbTotal price - 2600 canadian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarquel Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Just a quick "2 cents"....When building a pc, always try (where possible) to get a good psu with your case. I dont mean <amount-of-Watts> but a quality case like a Antec, Aopen, etc. and not a case that costs £20 and comes with a 350/400W psu by an un-heardof manufacturer.You'll probably end up with a totally unstable system and wonder why, even if all the other components are high quality.Get a good £50 (or more) case (which includes a PSU by the same manuacturer) as you'll end up having a more smooth running pc.And like some have mentioned previously, when choosing the components you want - make sure you always research every component to avoid getting problems later.If it takes you more than a month to do so, then you've probably researched enough - never skimp on good stuff.(to those in the uk - the new KFC adverts are hellish funny arent they? hehe)Regards,Nath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matrix0978 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 the only thing i dont really like about 4/5th of those sites are they dont have an pictures.... Only the 3rd one down does... and most of the beginners will need a visual to see what there doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeva Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Yes and the first Link is for older easier to build PCs, Pentium 4 PCs have much more connectors, Front USB, Heatsink, Front Audio, differing backpane etc... I had 4 hours to build a P4 and 30 Minutes to Build a P3 and I can say, that I'm practised, but I heard, that Intel www.intel.com has released a Flash animation of that.Check this out: http://developer.intel.com/personal/build/index.htmAnd yes it is an advertising of Pentium 4.

tiusic Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 (edited) if u know a bit about this computer building stuff (no pun intended, bit, u get it?), help me. I posted a question in general discussion about using BIOS on SATA drives (my BIOS doesn't seem to be able to sense them even though it came with a MB that has SATA plugs!). Help out a noob.

BombaTwist Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 in my opinion i think sites that show a video of step by step process on how to build a computer would be much easier, This For Example , but that one only tells you how to install a video card and power supply, anyone know any links like the one i posted except, it shows videos on how to build a whole computer? i think its more descriptive =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
