<p><b><font size="4">Introduction</font></b><br>
<br>
In this tutorial I will try an teach you how to successfully build your own
computer! There are many benefits to building your own computer.</p>
<ol>
<li>You get hand's on experience learning how a computer works</li>
<li>Its a hell of alot less expensive then buying one from a retailer</li>
<li>Its a hell of alot more reliable than buying one from a retailer being that
you hand select QUALITY parts and put it togethor yourself.</li>
<li>You can do your own tech support no more relying on stupid Best Buy Tech's
that don't know the difference between their ass and a hard disk jumper (don't
worry I'll tell you what those are later)</li>
</ol>
<p><b><font size="4">Section #1 (What Your Going To Need)</font></b><br>
</p>
<p>Here we will discuss a list of the parts you need and the best place to purchase
them. If you want the best<br>
prices on computer hardware you will definitly want to look online. Unfortunatly
(and for some of you very fortunatly<br>
if you know what I mean) this requires the use of a credit card. Below is a
general list of the devices you will <br>
need...</p>
<ol>
<li> A Computer Case (Something To Put All The Computer Parts Togethor In)<br>
<ul>
<li>Should only run you about 50 dollars</li>
<li>Beware the cheap ones with cheap power supplies they will die in a year</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> A Mother Board (Everything Will Be Plugged Into The Mother Board)</li>
<li> A Floppy Drive and a CDROM (Should Be Obvious)</li>
<li> A Hard Disk (Come In Many Different Flavors and Quality Levels, Stores
All The Information In Your Computer)</li>
<li> A Video Card (Cheap Stuff, Its What Your Monitor Plugs Into)</li>
<li> IDE Controller Ribbon </li>
<li> Miscellaneous Accessories</li>
</ol>
<p>Next we'll take a look at many of the different options you have when buying
these pieces of equipment. Your choice <br>
may vary depending on which Operating Systems you plan on running.</p>
<p><b><font size="4">Section #2 (Which Brand And Model Should I Buy?)</font></b></p>
<p>We'll lets start with your computer case and move all the way down to Miscellaneous
Accessories..</p>
<p><b>1. Computer Case</b></p>
<p>You will most certainly need an ATX style case with a quality power supply.
How do you tell? Well if the case<br>
is only 15-20 bucks theres a pretty good chance its a crappy power supply. </p>
<p><b>2. A Mother Board</b></p>
<p>I suggest a quality ASUS (ATX style to match your computer case) mother board
its up to you ask your friends. <br>
I've had bad experiences personally with FIC<br>
mother boards.</p>
<p><b>3. A Floppy Drive and CDROM</b><br>
</p>
<p>Pretty inexpensive stuff, i'd suggest a Sony Floppy drive and a generic CDROM.
Doesn't make too much a difference if your<br>
concerned about getting the best price.</p>
<p><b>4. Hard Disks</b><br>
<br>
Gets alittle tricky. If you want reliability, high speed transfers, and are
willing to run Windows I suggest a Western Digital<br>
or a Seagate ULTRA DMA-66. If your not to concerned with speed and want to run
a server with Unix i'd go with a Fujitsu or<br>
a Western Digital. Their farely inexpensive but only transfer in 33 megabit
bursts as apposed to the DMA-66 which transfer<br>
in 33 megabit bursts. I don't believe Unix currently supports ULTRA DMA-66,
but don't quote me on that. Now there's an even faster <br>
transfer rate available via SCSI Hard Disk Controllers, but i'm not about to
go into setting up SCSI controllers in this tutorial. <br>
For now we will stick with IDE Hard Disk controllers.</p>
<p><b>5. Video Cards</b><br>
</p>
<p>Video cards are cheap and if your not a gamer a plain ole gener Cirrus Logic
or STB video card will do fine.</p>
<p><b>6. IDE Controller Ribbon</b><br>
</p>
<p>You'll need 2 different kinds of IDE Ribbon 2 40 pins for your CDROM and Hard
Disk and Another with less pins for your floppy.<br>
You can buy these at any local computer store or order them off the web.</p>
<p><b>7. Miscellaneous Stuff</b><br>
</p>
<p>You may be interested in adding a sound card, ethernet card, and/or 3DFX card
to your system. These are relatively easy to do and<br>
I will explain how to add card's to your mother board later. </p>
<p><b>Section #3 (Where do I buy all this crap!?)</b><br>
</p>
<p>Well if your looking for the best prices online for computer hardware (and
this is my unbiast opinion) i'd suggest going to<br>
http://www.pricewatch.com again ask your friends maybe they know a better place.
Pricewatch.com researchs the best prices<br>
on computer hardware.</p>
<p><b><font size="4">Section #4 (Lets Assemble!)</font></b><br>
</p>
<p>This next part is very important so read carefully...</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>First things first get yourself a clean desk to work on.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Place your ATX stlye computer case on the desk and slide/lift the top off.
Inside should be a bunch of wires coming out<br>
of the power supply in the back and a bunch of wires coming out near the
face of the box.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The next thing your going to want to do is place your mother board inside
the case and fasten it in. Their might be<br>
metal coverings covering the holes in the computer case were the parralel
ports and serial ports on the mother board<br>
should poke through, go ahead and poke those out with a screw drive so you
can fit the mother board in snuggly. Every<br>
Case fastens mother boards in different ways. Some use plastic pegs, some
use metal screws. It will hopefully be obvious<br>
which you have to use.
<p></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
#4 Once the mother board is mounted properly you will need to fasten the floppy
drive, and cdrom into the computer case.<br>
All computer cases store floppy drives differently there maybe a slide out
container that you screw them into. You'll<br>
have to make sure that the the floppy drive is right side up (duh!) and that
the pins are facing towards the back of the<br>
computer. Installing the CDROM is pretty much the same in all computer cases.
Some mounting rails should have come <br>
with your mother board. You need to fasten those to the sides of the CDROM
and you should be able to slide it right in<br>
to one of the top bays.
<p></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Insert your Video Card. There are presently about 3 differnet forms of slots
on your mother board. PCI, ISA, and AGP.<br>
Video Cards are presently made for all 3 of them. AGP stands for "Accelrated
Graphics Port" Video Cards made for this <br>
slot are generally more high tech/performance. PCI's work and so do ISA (Althoug
ISA is more Old School). Gee how<br>
do I tell the difference? Well AGP slots more than likely is the only small,
brown, slot on your mother board. PCI<br>
you probably have the most of these their white and little longer than AGP.
ISA, these are longggg and black, ugly.<br>
Insert your Video Card and snug it in there firmly. Don't force it (duh).
<p></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Time for that evil Hard Disk installation. We'll Hit hooking up the power
supplies and Installing the Hard Disk at the<br>
same time just for fun. Insert the Hard Disk In a very much similar way to
the way you inserted the floppy disk. But<br>
Before you do make sure that the jumper settings are correct on the back of
Har Disk. Most hard disks are shipped in<br>
single mode, but if you want to run multiple hard disks (which we won't discuss)
you need to set the jumpers differently.<br>
Jumpers are little metal prongs connected with little jumpers that complete
a connection. You figure it out. Anyway<br>
you got your hard disk in now its time to hook up the power supplies. The
hard disk and the CDROM have similar power supp<br>
lies. 3 or 4 prong. Hook those funny looking cords coming out of the back
of the power supply into your CDROM and Hard<br>
Disk. Theres a smaller one that hooks into your floppy it should be obvious.
Theres a big power supply (the biggest one<br>
in the lot usually made of white plastic) It fits into a slot on your mother
board, it is the main power supply to your<br>
mother board. Its kind of tricky to get in so be careful.
<p></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Now that you have your Power Supplies hooked up you'll need to connect your
Periphrials to your Mother Board. Use the IDE<br>
Controller Ribbon I know you all have. Hey one end goes to your CDROM (make
sure the red line on the ribbon "pin 1" is <br>
matched up with the first pin on the back of your CDROM) and the other end
goes to your mother board (same deal). The <br>
same goes for your hard disk and yoru floppy. Figure it out its not that difficult.
You'll know you did something wrong<br>
when you get a floppy disk fail on boot.
<p></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Finishing touches. Don't forget to connect those nasty wires coming out from
behind the face of your computer case to<br>
your mother board. They control the on, off, reset, hard disk activity, and
power switch. Every mother board is different<br>
so i hope you have a manual with your mother board. Most specify with 2 or
3 character paraphrases that make no sense.<br>
For Example "PWR SWT" = Power Switch "RST SWT" = Reset
Switch. Or even more vague than that.
</li>
</ol>
<p><b><font size="4">Section #5 (Testing 1, 2, 3)</font></b><br>
</p>
<p>Ok your ready to give it a whirl, you'll need to get in your system bios. The
"DEL" key should usually get you in.<br>
Get it to autodetect your hard disk. Accept the Setting and Save your Configurations.
Install Your OS and your ready to go.<br>
That easy!! Ha! you'll prolly have lots of trouble theres a million resources
online to help you. Get to it.</p>
