My experiences of\nbuilding my own pc\u2019s has been somewhat mixed. I had considerable\nhelp building the last two machines I have had by my friend Mikhail. \nWhen I say I had help building that means I created the requirements\nand he waded through the technical jungles to come up with a\ncompatible parts list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh, sure I helped to\nassemble them. My last one I assembled in its entirety including all\nthe backwards fans. Once I was done my work was reviewed which is\nwhen some of my missteps were discovered and then corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This time around I\nhave to fly solo and do everything myself. I am both good with my\nhands and not afraid of electronics so how hard could it be? It did\ntake a lot longer to come up to speed on all the changes in\ntechnology than I thought it would but I thought I would. Not only\ndoes the internet is full of all the information you need to know but\nit is also covered in a greater depth than I am prepared to go. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know a couple of people who are considering building their own computer so I am pulling together a general list of the technology as well as a basic explanation of each. I am listing what I learned during my research. This will highlight a lot of the interesting or tricky steps as well as include links to a lot of supporting material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the next few days I will be writing up my notes on the entire process and a quick summary after the process is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This series contains links to some of the resources I used as well as a few hardware vendors. I have not received anything from any of the vendors or websites. This information is included as it was either described better than I could do it or by someone who could be considered to be an expert. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
