Once I thought about building your own computer system? Perhaps you heard friends talking about doing this kind of things, but they were never sure of what was involved. This article tries to answer two questions. Firstly, why you want to build your own computer system? Secondly, so hard what do this?
Why build a computer system?
First let's analyze why you want to build a computer system. There are three main reasons cited for the construction of a computer system. The first is that you'll save a lot of money. The second is that you will get exactly the system you want. And finally, the third reason is that you can easily repair your system if something goes wrong.
Creating a team to save money is probably not a realistic objective. These days you can get some computer systems really cheap. Complete systems for sale for less than $500, it would be difficult to build a computer system that is going to beat that price by far.
However, there are some options to cut costs. You can use many pieces of his former team. This would save money, as there is probably no reason to replace these devices as the unit of CD-ROM, floppy or even the old system case unit.
In addition, once you have built your computer system, you can easily update it. A computer system that built you always can upgrade more easily than a "massive PC market". For example, if you need a faster processor only upgrade the motherboard or the processor.
I think the biggest reason for the construction of its own computer system is the second reason that I mentioned earlier. You can get exactly the system you want. If a certain type of graphics card, can select it. You can choose the RAM you have best access time for the money, not what some large manufacturer got the best deal in that week. For enthusiasts of certain equipment, this is the only way to go! For me, only being able to choose the exact case you want to that it makes it worth the process.
Finally, computer systems built oneself are much easier to repair than "mass PC market". On the one hand, it's a computer system built. You know where everything is and what it is. Secondly, the computer system was built of common parts, so it will be easy to find replacements. Very often large computer manufacturers will build computer systems with proprietary parts, you can only get from the manufacturer of the equipment.
The complex is to build a team
Creation of a computer system is not as complex as you might think. The only tools you will need are screwdrivers. If you have never added an expansion card for the team, you are almost half way to building your own system.
The most complex part is to ensure that everything is compatible with what you buy. You need to align the specifications exactly between its parts. For example, if you buy a motherboard with DDR2 RAM memory, you need to make sure that the RAM is DDR2.
Once you meet all the necessary components only you will have to assemble his new team. We will have acquired a case, motherboard, RAM, hard disk, CD-ROM drives, floppy disk drive, video card and sound card. Now you just have to mount them. This usually takes only a few hours and no tools other than the screwdrivers, it is likely that you already own. In addition, it is very difficult to damage anything. The majority of cables are encoded so you can not plug recoil.
