Does any one now a site that can show me how to build a comp with step by step instructions with the pics? And not the one by Lord Anthrax. I just don't get it.

Sorry Lord Anthrax.

Check this out: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1602166,00.asp

Its from 2004 so the parts may be outdated, but you can get the jist of it.

striker you really must stop making new threads everywhere, they wont give you more answers so just stick to one. Or they might get deleted.

Building a computer isnt hard at all... Getting into extreme software codeing and all that good stuff is. Just remember, dont buy cheap parts! If your going to take the time to build a custom computer, do it right. I don't mean spend lots of money on it (getting a good deal on a high end part is awesome) But just don't buy poor quality of parts.

i bought a DVD from the famous auction site for 4.95 so i'm hoping that is good. it is supposed to be. i already have the $10.00 book and it helps a lot and i also bought a magazine that is from UK and it was good. but i still dont know it all so i bought the DVD.

www.buildyourowncomputer.net

That site seemed to have a good amount of information on each step of the building process. There is a lot on BIOS on that site too.

i learned from an issue of what ever mag has "the vede" and that was my firstbuild. Which is this one, but 3 years later and upgraded everything. In the 3 years I have had this comp, I have had ZERO blue screens, and only in the last 3 months have I had freezes and crashes.
