One of my favorite hobbies is working with
computers. For over 10 years I've worked with computers.
Initially I used computers just for surfing the internet, specifically
our family's first internet service provider, Prodigy. I had
already played video games on Nintendo and Sega, and soon enough I was
playing games on our computer. I've come to the realization that
the personal computer offers the best games available - better than any
Playstation 2 or Xbox game. I've worked with all kinds of
computer software such as Microsoft Office, Photoshop, 3D Studio Max
and Truespace (3D rendering software). Recently, with the help of
a friend, I built my first computer. It was a great learning
experience and after we were done I was really fufilled and excited
about using it. My computer has been running strong since its
conception - no problems yet buddy!! |

A General Guide
to Building a Computer To build a computer you're going to need some parts. (Keep in mind that this list is a general one - most, if not all of these parts are available in different speeds, size, specs, etc..)
Next, plug in your video, sound and modem/network cards into the motherboard. Your hard drive, floppy drive and CD-ROM drive should be connected to your motherboard and placed into your computer case. Following this, make sure everything has been plugged into your power supply that needs power. At this point, you can turn the computer on and begin installation of your operating system (Windows 2000, XP, etc). After this is completed, you install the drivers for all your new parts and voila.. you've just built a computer! |
