The
author is very detailed in explaining hardware, software and
configuration issues. An absolute MUST-HAVE even if you have built
computers before, because of the thousand new issues that are explained
in the book and you never thought of! Very detailed, and a truly simple
and basic explanation of all one needs to know. Highly recommend this
book to anyone building, or even thinking of putting a computer
together. The hardware buying options in the book are sure to save
money.
