Want to learn how to build your own computer? Or even if you never gave any thought to building your own computer system… this seminar provides great information to have for the next time you but a computer…. DMA may be the place for you… Part 1 "What you will need and how to select the components" will be presented this month.

Why would you want to build your own PC? Do you save money? Not necessarily… Do you end up with a better system? You can end up with a better selection of components — a system that is more attuned to your needs.

It seems that experienced people are building custom systems today because it's the only way they can get exactly what they want. You avoid proprietary designs that some companies use to keep you coming to them for replacement parts or upgrades. Best of all, having built the system yourself, you become very familiar not only with what you own, but with computers in general.

Cheap, off-the-shelf systems are notorious for low quality parts. Manufacturers may offer decent systems that work, but they aren't concerned if the system doesn't work efficiently. The only way you can be sure that your system is working with peak performance is to tune it with high quality components that you select.

How do you know which CPU, motherboard, hard drive or monitor to buy? How do the components fit together? Will the final computer system work flawlessly?

PC Club in cooperation with Intel, will introduce the audience to the state-of-the-art, high-performance, high-value system configuration specially designed for the Part 2 “hands-on” workshop that will be scheduled for a later date.

Best of all, you can customize your system to provide you with exactly what you want at the price you want to pay. Simply start with one of the three suggested systems and upgrade, add or downgrade components until you have your dream computer!

You do not have to purchase or order your components from PC Club to take part in the work session.. But it it.s a good place to start.
