Building a computer from scratch

Building a computer from scratch can be a very satisfying project.

You get to have your computer exactly the way you want it!

It's not as complicated as you might think, a computer just requires some basic parts which all fit together.

You will need :

* A computer case

*A motherboard

*A hard drive, 1 or more.

*A CD/DVD RW drive

*RAM Memory

*A sound card

* Speakers

*Monitor

I've found the cheapest way to buy these components is to avoid the ones in fancy packaging as they usually cost a lot more. Instead, at some computer stores or online, you can buy components that usually come in just a basic brown box, sometimes without even any instructions, but you can still find out what to do, it's not as complicated as you might think.

It's up to you to decide the exact details such as amount of memory etc.
