  1. Building Your Own Computer By Adam Weidemann

  2. Case and Power Supply • You want to first choose a case that will fit the motherboard form factor and choose a power supply with an output that will accommodate your needs • Be Sure to get a nice flashy case that you can show off to your friends! Might want to have a PSU of about 350 Watts just to be save!

  3. Motherboard, processor, memory • Make sure your Motherboard supports the processor and memory you plan on buying! • Carefully mount and screw your motherboard to your case • Very carefully insert the processor into the socket, be sure to line up the pins correctly and put the heat sink on. • Insert Memory into a Dimm and snap the edges back in.

  4. Optical Devices • Take off any neccesary drive-bay covers on your case • Screw in each drive to the drive-bay • Plug in all necessary power and ide cables to the mother board and drives • Check for proper Jumper Arrangment

  5. Other Devices • Video Card and sound card snap in place in the PCI slots and screw in for added stability.

  6. Setting up the Case Switches • Resort to your motherboard manual for this very annoying and tedious activity, for the proper jumper configs.

  7. Make that baby POST!! • After everything is correctly plugged in, turn on the computer • If you don’t hear a beep, start troubleshooting • Make sure all jumpers are configured correctly, processor is securely fastened and that you are not overheating anything!

  8. Installing Windows XP • Insert the CD Into your cd-drive • Set Your CD-Drive to boot first in your bios • Restart Computer, press any key to boot from CD • Choose to format your Hard Drive using NTFS on an unpartioned drive space • Follow setup instructions • BAM You got Win XP Baby!

  9. Brag to your friends • Now you can build a computer for anyone, maybe even make some good money doing so. You can even make them look all fancy schmancy with neon lights and case windows!
