So you have decided to build your own computer. You are in the right place and I will try and
walk you through each step from planning to powering on and back to troubleshooting.
In my day to day jobs as a Network Administrator / AskTheAdmin I am often asked the
question, “How can I build my own computer?”. Well actually the question usually goes a little
more like hey Karl can YOU build me a GREAT, CHEAP computer?
I usually try to keep walking but the end users do eventually catch up. So I am here on behalf
of MakeUseOf.com to give you a walk through on how you can build your own cheap
computer. Before we start you should know that building a computer has become A LOT
easier than it was 5 years ago. Parts are easier to install, cases are readily available and
there is a crap load of free support available on the internet.
