How to Build a Computer

description
Info Level: Beginner Presenter: Eli the Computer Guy Date Created: May 14, 2010 Length of Class: 80 Minutes Tracks Computer Repair Prerequisites Computer Anatomy Purpose of Class This classes teaches students how to build a computer. Topics Covered Deciding on What Parts to Purchase Building the Computer Common Problems and Mistakes Class Notes Planning Your New System Determine what software you will be using and then buy what the software manufacturer recommends. Buy high quality parts from well known manufacturers Building the Computer You only need a philips head screw driver and thermal paste to build a computer. Install the CPU and Heat Sink before you put the motherboard in the case. Common Problems Make sure read voltage switch is correct on power supply Make sure power supply is turned on Make sure power button connection is right on the motherboard Make sure CPU fan is plugged in Final Thoughts... It is usually cheaper to buy a PC vs. build one now Building a PC is very easy just take your time and make sure to buy the right parts. Building a PC is the same as building a Server Resources NewEgg.com
