How to build your own computer

Build your computer from individual parts will begin with getting a motherboard, RAM, CPU and hard disk.

The motherboard is the part of every computer that connects the CPU is actually what makes your computer a computer, RAM is where you work on your computer does everything, and the hard disk where data is stored. You also need a video card, and will be a network interface card (or a wireless network adapter) will, and if you need a sound cardhas no sound onboard the motherboard. You also need a monitor, keyboard and mouse, and if you want a case for it and some fans. Suppose we have all the parts, and were smart enough to make a bundle to buy a place like NewEgg.com, where someone else has chosen the RAM CPU and motherboard, so all work together. (For computers that are "last generation" stuff, this is often a good way to get a really cheap computer for a small sum of money.)

OK,you go to a screwdriver, a need for good light and a magnifying glass does not hurt. Following the instructions for your case and motherboard, install the motherboard into the case. Connect the power supply wires to the motherboard, and attach all connections to the front plate and back plate. Power up - there are LEDs that light up, if not, you may need to talk to whoever sold you the motherboard.

Now, power down again. Set your CPUin the CPU socket, it can be difficult - but not forced. Everything should line up and you will get in. Now, practice the heatsink / fan on the motherboard, then remove it, apply some 'thermal grease on top of the CPU tries to put on a uniform and put on the heatsink. Usually there is a spring tension locking lever to keep using it. The main cause of death, forcing the CPU and motherboards in the first motherboardfolder and a pen, and tries to run without the cooling block.

Once the CPU, put the RAM in the slots, and connect the hard drives. Make sure when you buy the hard disks that use the same connectors on the motherboard (which is why we take the motherboard and work our way out). SATA hard drives are faster, bigger and easier to find than the old IDE. SATA vs IDE is a good reason to choose a hard disk onothers. Most hard drive bays are lives in media so you can mount the hard drives there. If your hard drives are equipped with fans, the fans are connected. Hard drives can be very hot, and it is not good for them.

Now, put the video card, the monitor, and switch - you should do a test "POST", identifying the CPU and how much RAM you have, and with luck, will tell you that found hard disk drives. Otherwise, you may need to lookthe motherboard manual again and play with some jumpers.

Finally, close all other parts where they should go, including the CD-ROM. You need the CD-ROM to install Windows or Ubuntu Linux. Leave the case open while installing the operating system, just in case something needs to be adjusted.
