This review is from: TechTV's How to Build Your Own PC [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Tape was quite interesting, and informative. However, it was somewhat "dated" (2001) and computers have advanced somewhat since then. But it did serve to guide me through a sucessful build.

Again, it was very enjoyable to watch (and easy to follow-along). And I gained a better understand of how the darn things work! I believe that down the line I will save some money on needed repairs - because I will be able to do some (but not all!) of the work myself.
