Synopsis
Prices for personal computers keep falling, making it a great time to buy a PC. And, because component prices are falling, it's also a great time to build your own PC. This book strips away the mystery and fear most people have about the internals of a PC. If you can follow a recipe or build a Lego toy, you can build your own PC and save money as well.

Review
This guide focuses on what's involved in building Pentium-based personal computers for Windows 95. It's a great resource for an engineering-minded 12-year-old, a technical student, or anyone who wants to figure out what's going on inside the case.
This book distinguishes itself from other hardware how-tos by paying sufficient attention to the costs involved in acquiring the components that go into an Intel-based PC--the video card, the memory modules, the motherboard, and so forth. Many of this book's competitors ignore the price issue.
The book focuses on selecting components for your machine. While the author pays fair attention to all of the major components, such as CD-ROM drives and video cards, he gives no attention to less-standard components such as removable-media disk drives and network interface cards. He does, however, make specific brand-name recommendations for each kind of component, enabling novice parts buyers to head into the marketplace with some knowledge. The final chapter explains how to install Windows 95, but doesn't do a very good job of explaining CD-ROM installation with MSCDEX.exe, which is a potential hazard. --David Wall
