I can honestly say that I did not expect this book to be as comprehensive and thorough (and witty!) as it was.The book starts off with the pros (easily updated, customized) and cons (costs) of building your own computer.  It gives insight on how to select all the parts you need for the pc (sorry, no Mac building here).  Then it delves into where and how to acquire the parts.  Building your own pc is a little pricey so the bargain hunting tips and websites were a great help.  Lastly, you get step-by-step instructions on how to put them all together, including troubleshooting for each one.  "How to Build a Computer" provides detailed information on just about every part and is quite understandable, even for novices like me.  I feel confident that I can customize my first own pc.  (I wish a few photos had been included though).
