Description
Ian Sinclair's Build Your Own books have established themselves as authoritative and highly practical guides for home and small business
PC users and IT technicians alike. All aspects of building and upgrading a PC are covered, making this the book computer retailers don't
want you to read!
Build and Upgrade Your Own PC, 4th edition is based around building and upgrading to the latest systems, such as
Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon XP motherboards running Windows XP and Windows 2000 Professional. As well as guiding you round the inside of
your PC base unit Ian Sinclair also covers setup and security issues and peripherals, including:
• Monitors, printers and scanners
• Video capture
• DVD drives
• Small-scale networking solutions
(wired and wireless)
• Security technologies, including Firewall
• Troubleshooting installation CD-ROMs
Audience:
PC users seeking guidance on the hardware side of their system: upgrading, hardware troubleshooting, and even construction of a full system.
Some technical awareness is assumed, making this title the ideal choice for anyone with a technical background, but step-by-step guidance
means it is well suited to readers with no educational background in the field. Also suitable for hardware-based vocational education
and training courses.
