I was amazed at how easy it was to build my own PC with the help of this highly organized and well-written book. After reading throught the book once, I had enough information to decide on the type of system that I really needed; assembling it was a snap because of the detailed instructions with pictures. I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes putting together their own customized computer system!

This is an excellent book for anybody who wants to build their own computer. Even if you don't know any of the computer parts, this book fully details every part of the computer and how they work. The author introduces computer terms and allows the reader to understand what they mean in simple terms. I am 13 years old, and am making my own computer thanks to this book. The book makes things simple, building a PC is not half as hard as it seems. The book is filled with photos, allowing you to see every process of assembling the computer. This book will teach you in normal language how to make a desktop or tower. Not to mention, this book was written recentely and includes PIII cpu's, AMD processors, and even DVD-ROM drives. However, to make your own computer following this book, you must be willing to specd at least $500.00. I highly recommend this book to any person, any age, who wants to make their own computer. However, this book seems to leave some questions about assembly unanswered, and a little research by yourself might be necessary. Overall, this is a simple, fun book to read that makes PC building very easy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Excellent book, great photos. Fantastic for DIY.
However, the year 2004 is creeping on us, so an update would be nice, especially with amd64.
