For those who are new to building your own system, I thought I would mention that there is a relatively decent guide in the November 2004 edition of MaximumPC. Unfortunatley the article is not on thier site - so you'll have to pick up the mag to get it. If it does appear I will post a link.
This guide is not perfect as it does not provide an extensive list of hints. However it is a better thana general guide. If you are considering building your first system then I would suggest you pick up a copy.
The article is:
THE MODERN PC BUILDING SPECIAL
Bob Dylan said it best when he sang, “The times, they are a-changin’.” This couldn’t be more true of PC building these days, what with the advent of DDR2, PCI Express, new CPU sockets, and other fancy, newfangled gadgetry. We’ll show you how to pick the best components at the best prices—and teach you the new rules around hardware installation. Stay tuned!
