Make your own computer from scratch is not only fun to make, but cheaper too. You may have to choose the elements you want on your PC. This gives you control in a balance of price and quality of your newly single PC.
Before we show you step, here are the necessary parts of the computer you need to buy:
- Processor cooler
- Motherboard memory
- Graphics
- Hard Drive
- CD or DVD Writer
- Floppy Drive
- Sound Card
- Computer Case
- Power Supply
- Monitor
- Keyboard
- Mice
Step in making your own PC:
Step 1
The computer case includes motherboard spacers and screws. This helps set the motherboard into the case. Mount the spacer
s into the corners and at the right side holes. It should match up with holes in the motherboard.
If your motherboard has different connector arrangements from the case's I / O (input / output) shield, use the shield that comes with the motherboard. Install it from the inside of the case.
Now, to install the processor, raise the lever on the side of the CPU (processor) socket. CPU's pins are made in such a way that it is possible to put the CPU into the socket only one way. Therefore, if you do it right, it should be easy to fit.
Hold the processor down and close the handle. Before installing the CPU cooler, its thermal compound on top of the CPU (on core).
Step 2
Mount processor cooler on the processor. Tap down. Cut heat sink to the processor socket. Fit the CPU cooler's fan power to the motherboard's fan header. It is usually labeled "CPU FAN 1".
Plug in the memory module to the long sockets called DIMM's. Unlock both tabs and push the memory straight down. The clips on the slot's sides should shut down. Gently push the motherboard against the I / O shield. Put in and tighten the motherboard screws. Do not force it.
The brown slot nearest the processor is the AGP slot meant for the video card. Insert the video card evenly in the slot provided. Screw the card into place. Make sure your AGP card is positioned correctly.
At the corner of the motherboard, you can see two rows of pins. End case leads to the pins. These wires are usually marked. Read your motherboard manual. See which brand goes with which set of pins.
Step 3
Now we mount the floppy drive, CD / DVD drive and hard disk. The motherboard usually has 2 IDE channels, each supporting 2 devices. If you install 2 IDE devices on the same cable, you will have the key to be "master" and the other to be "slave".
It is the same procedure for CD / DVD drives. Look for an HDD and CD drive manual for the correct jumper settings. You should do this before you drive screws into place.
Connect hard drives to a channel different from the CD drive. Floppy controller has a socket shorter than the IDE controllers.
Make sure the side of the IDE cable that has a red colored stripe lines up with PIN1.
Finally, plug in the main ATX power cable and connect all drives with power supply. If you have multiple cases coolers, you can also connect them.
Now connect your monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers to the back of the case. Put the power cable to the adapter. Double-check the correct installation before the first boot.
Now you can show your friends, your first single computer.
