- Building the Perfect PC
~Usually Ships Within 24 Hours
- -Robert Thompson (Author), Barbara Fritchman Thompson (Author)
Paperback 422 pages, 2nd edition / Published
This popular Build-It-Yourself (BIY) PC book covers everything you want to know about building your own system: Planning
and picking out the right components, step-by-step instructions for assembling your perfect PC, and an insightful discussion
of why you'd want to do it in the first place. Most big brand computers from HP, Dell and others use lower-quality components
so they can meet their aggressive pricing targets. But component manufacturers also make high-quality parts that you can either
purchase directly, or obtain through distributors and resellers. Consumers and corporations alike are opting to build rather than
buy PCs to ensure high quality and compatibility.
The new edition of Building the Perfect PC shows you how to construct a variety of top-flight systems with the latest technology,
including AMD Socket AM-2 and Intel Core 2 processors, that are Vista- and Linux-ready. The book includes several new options, including:
- A Budget PC you can build for approximately $350 that offers performance and reliability similar to that of mainstream systems
- A full-blown media-center system that runs Linux and MythTV or Windows MCE with multiple tuners and HDTV support
- A fire-breathing high-performance gaming system
- A fast, low-power, low-heat, low-noise, Small Form Factor system (the size of a shoe box)
- A low-cost SOHO (small office, home office) server system with a 2 terabyte (2,000 GB) disk subsystem that's suitable for a
residential environment rather than a server closet
Regardless of your technical experience, Building the Perfect PC will guide you through the entire process of building or upgrading
your own computer. You'll use the latest top-quality components, including Intel's Core 2 Duo and AMD's Athlon X2 CPUs. And you'll know
exactly what's under the hood and how to fix or upgrade your PC, should that become necessary.
Not only is the process fun, but the result is often less expensive and always better quality and far more satisfying than anything
you could buy off the shelf.
