Welcome back to my web page. On this page we are going to discuss HOW TO BUILD A PC. First off how many of you have built your own pc before? Come on let me see a show of hands. Oh alright, just kidding. I know most of us have built one or upgraded our current one to enable it to do something faster, more stable, even just to hold more data. I have over the years built quite a few for personal use. I'm not much for doing just an upgrade when you can build a newer one for around $ 500.00 - $ 1000.00 depending on what you are wanting the computer to do. We will get into that a little more later in this page. Which is less than the cost of most name brand computers. For this exercise I am only referring to building the actual pc tower itself. The cost of monitors, keyboards, mice, and other accessories are not included with the price listed above.

Here I will give you a general step by step list of the procedures for building a computer. Click on the links for more details with each process.
