everything is almost well done!

After watching the video , I still do not quite understand some of the parts , so I called over my "IT" friend to help.. What are friends for? hahahax

They took about 30minutes to assemble the PC , after assembling they installed the OS , drivers. I learnt from them that almost all hardwares in the PC needs a driver to talk to the OS to make them work properly

Everything was up and running finally , I will be mointering the performance for the next few weeks , if any corkup I will call them up again.. ( touch wood )

Parts of a PC

I spend a few Hours looking on forums , websites on how to build a PC , I found out that there are several key components and some opt components.. Below is a list of parts that I can find in sim lim with no fuss

1) Case

2) Motherboard

3) Processor

4) Memory

5) Hard Drive

6) Optical Drive

7) Monitor

8) Operating System

The above 8 items are the essentials for a pc to be up and running , users may want to add in a tv card , blu-ray reader and a second hard drive for a better mulitmedia experience

I know shit about computer, I have a feel that my friends is the same except for one but that person is always busy with his own stuffs. He told me to go "forums.hardwarezone.com (Hardware clinic)" and seek help from people there as they are computer genius. wow!

So I signed up for an account there and within few hours they posted many valuable information which is useful. Forums is really a good place to start finding information , not only u can find information but in the same time you can make some friends. ^^
