WELCOME TO MIKE'S COMPUTER BUILDING HOMEPAGE MIKE'S COMPUTER BUILDING HOMEPAGE

WELCOME TO MY HOMEPAGE. MY HOMEPAGE IS ALL ABOUT COMPUTER BUILDING. THERE ARE MANY BENIFITS TO BUILDING, FOR EXAMPLE WHEN A PERSON BUYS PREBUILT COMPUTERS THEY MAY GET EXTRA THINGS THEY MAY NOT NEED AND BE CHARGES FOR OTHER PEOPLE PUTTING THERE COMPUTER TOHETHER, WHEREAS IF THEY HAD BUILT THERE COMPUTER THEY COULD BUY THE PARTS THEY WANT THUS AND SAVING THEM MONEY. WHEN LOOKING FOR PARTS TO PUT TOGETHER YOUR COMPUTER I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND NOT GOING TO MAJOR COMPUTER STORES BECAUSE THEY OVER CHARGE ON EVERY THING THEY SELL. I WOULD RECOMMEND GOING TO A MA AND PA COMPUTER STORE BECAUSE THEY HAVE BETTER PARTS AT A CHEAPER PRICE.

YOU WILL NEED SOME SUPPLIES FOR BUILING YOUR OWN COMPUTER BELOW IS A LIST OF ALL THE MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED.
A CASE
A POWER SUPPLY WITH AT LEAST 200 WATTS
A MOTHER BOARD THAT WILL FIT YOUR PROCESSOR, IT SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST THREE PCI SLOTS AND ONE AGP SLOT FOR A VIDEO CARD AND AT LEAST 400 MHZ FRONT SIDE BUS
A PROCESSOR WITH AT LEAST 1.5 GHZ FOR NORMAL COMPUTER USE OR 2.4 GHZ AND ABOVE FOR GAMERS,MAKE SURE YOUR PROCESSOR WILL FIT INTO YOUR MOTHERBOARD.
A FLOPPY DISK DRIVE
A CD-ROM OR DVD-ROM DRIVE WITH AT LEAST A 32X READING SPEED
A CD OR DVD BURNER WITH AT LEAST 16X RECORDING SPEED

WHEN YOU FIRST START BUILDING TOUR COMPUTER MAKE SURE THAT YOUR ARE NOT ON CARPETING BEACAUSE THAT CAN CAUSE STATIC ELECTRICITY IN YOUR BODY, AND IF YOU ABOUT TO PUT IN THE PROCESSOR WITH STATIC ELECTRICITY IN YOUR BODY YOU COULD DAMAGE THE PROCESSOR.AS A SECONDARY PRECAUTION I WOULD ALSO ADVISE YOU TO WEAR A ANTI-STATIC WRISTBAND.BEFORE YOU PUT THE MOTHERBOARD IN THE CASE MAKE SURE THE CASE IS THUROUGHLY CLEAN. WHEN YOU ARE SURE THE CASE IS CLEAN YOU CAN ATATCH THE MOTHERBOARD TO THE CASE BY USING THE SREWS PROVIDED. tHIS NEXT STEP COULD BE DONE BEFORE OR AFTER THE MOTHER BOARD WAS INSTALLED,TAKE YOUR PROCESSOR ADN FIND THE SLOT IN YOUR MOTHERBOARD FOR THE PROCESSOR THIS SLOT WILL HAVE HUNDREDS OF SLOTS FOR THE PINS IN THE PROCESSOR.aFTER YOU HAVE INSTALLED THE PROCESSOR INSTALL THE HEAT SINK AND THE FAN ON TOP OF THE MOTHERBOARD.AT THIS TIME IT WOULD BE EASY TO INSTALL YOUR RAM MEMORY AND ANY DEVICES YOU WOULD WANT TO INSTAL KLIKE A MODEM INTO YOUR MOTHERBOARD'S PCI SLOTS.nOW IT'S TIME TO INSTALL ALL OF YOUR DRIVES, tHERE ARE TWO MAIN TYPES OF CAPLES THAT WILL PROBALLY WILL COME WITH YOUR MOTHERBOARD, FLAT CABLE AND ROUND CABLE IF YOUR MOTHERBOARD COMES WITH FLAT CABLES I WOULD ADVISE YOU TO BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT BEND THE FLAT CABALE,AFTER THE EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO THE MOTHERBOARD THE NEXT STEP IS TO CONNECT THE POWER SUOPPLY TO ALL OF THE DRIVES,FANS,AND THE MOTHERBOARD.wHEN EVERYTHIGN IS CONNECTED DOUBLE CHECK IT AND PUT THE CASE BACK TOGETHER.
