At a entry level this book is concise and technical. The book pretty much acknowledges the fact that alone this won't complete the task. There will be a need for further assistance and provides a good list for help and reccomendations.

Is a great book, but doesn't have any step by step graphic or photo to show you to do it yourself, with this book you will learn all the theory information to chose the right components for you computer but you will not be able to do it yourself if you really want to do it, perhaps you need to buy DVD step by step instruction guide or a step by step graphic/photo instruction book

This was one of the 'how to' books I bought for my husband for his birthday. He had been remarking how he was tempted to build his own computer! Just last night he said he was ready to put his newly built computer in a permanent place - thanks due to several times referring to these books and got the answers he needed! He was glad to cross compare what one book said and how another might reword the same topic. Bottom line: A Computer Was Built!

I bought this book a couple of years ago. Yes, the book talks about building PCs - but provides no practical help at all. I would have sent it back but wasn't worth the postage & the hassle. There are far better books here, suggest that you try the Thompsons instead.
