Silent Shadow
HI everyone. I have deciced to bulid a computer I was wonderning if there was any who could help me with some stuff.
The First thing is I have a maximum Computer book that tells me how but if you know a better one could you tell me.
Second I was wonderning how much it would cost me to do this. I would like it to have 1 tera bite of memory, cd dvd burner, Windows vista home. A great video chip and a intel core duel proccer chip.

I am in the process of building a computer myself (taking a hardware course right now) and for the build I have set is about $750 without an operating system. Now depending on what kind of parts your going after, you might spend about $1000+; especially since your going for a TB hard drive.

To get your parts cheap you want to go to this website New Egg, if you need more help then whats posted, get a hold of me either through MSN or yahoo and I can help you further. My hardware teacher has a few guides on our class website that tells you the process of what to install first. From first six weeks of class I can tell you how to start purchasing parts, or for the most part how to set up the order:

1: Start with the motherboard first
2: Pick compatible processor for that motherboard
3: Pick Compatible RAM for the motherboard
4: Pick your computer case that uses the same form factor as your motherboard
5: Pick your cooling system that you will want to install into your case(most motherboards and processors come with there own cooling system)
6: Pick your power supply that is compatible for the motherboard and for the computer case
7: Pick your hard drive, CD rom drive, Floppy Drive or other drives you want to install
8: Pick out video or audio cards you might want to install
9: Pick out your monitor, keyboard, mouse and any other accessories you might want.

If you loosely follow that ordering procedure you should have a good system picked out, of course picking the right parts takes even longer since there is so many of them.

    First of all, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I thought this is the relevent place for
    this post. I don't know how many of you've heard about this, but the next tallest building
    in the whole world is underway. It's all set to be built in Dubai (which is soon developing
    economically). It's really great to see many tall buildings build up in so less time and now
    they bring us the worlds tallest. The actualy height is still not disclosed by the architects.
