Mag Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I really need yer guys support on this one, yes this is the first time I will be attempting to build a pc, time is hard to put into use, since next semster of school is around the corner, I need alot of advice and suggestions before begining the developement during the holidays. I read this: http://www.pcmech.com/byopc/ but not finish, seems efficient, but I'm worried about other things, I don't think it even covers everything, anywho, I'am checking out the TechTV show about BYOC, for starters like me need to be ready at full scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdy Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I'm thinking about doing the same before I turn at least the age of 20 check out these bundles (motherboard + processors). Thanks again to Garageink for that link (which he gave me about 6 months ago ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuken Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 i think there's an video guide on how to build a computer and what parts u need, that u can download on suprnova, and it's from tech tv, so u might want to check that out and building a computer is not that hard, but buying the right stuff and get it cheap is what's hard but i can't teach u anything about that, also before u buy anythin, u might want to think about what kinda computer ur building, cuz that'll help alot when ur buying ur stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mag Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 yes thats good but you don't have to rub it in how long does the whole process take to completely (including tweaking and everything ready) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 (edited) The first time I built a PC it took about 4 hours. Now I can pretty much do it about 2. Tweaking takes a while since you have to do it after you install the software. Edited December 19, 2004 by GryphonKlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IxI SoNiK IxI Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 http://www.anandtech.com/ this site might help choose the parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cominus Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Whatz something cheap to start you off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeval Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 IxI SoNiK IxI is right, Anandtech rocks, but it's a little tough to sift through all the information if you don't know what you're looking for. I recommend Directron.com and NewEgg.com for parts. If you're in a state where one charges tax and the other doesn't, the non-tax one will usually be cheaper. And even with Tax they're some of the lowest prices out there on most stuff. Are you looking to built a specific type of machine? Like a really tricked out one with lights and stuff, or a silent running machine (you'd be surprised how nice that is), or just a simple browse the web and play games machine, or a hardcore powerful rig, etc?
