1.0 out of 5 stars Informative but generic, November 3, 2008
This review is from: Build a Computer from Scratch (Paperback)
Information presented within is correct, but seems out of touch with current computer technology. The lack of decent color pictures seen in other computer building books is a minus for beginners. Overall disappointing.
