I'm very sorry but you asked for it.

BUNGHOLE

Eloquently put Ty.

And spelt correctly too!

Always.*


*Usually

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of putting it all together, because I'm not as familiar with average prices over there, and I'm pretty sure a guide in US Dollars won't help you guys out much. If someone else who shops for hardware would help me out with pricing I could do it though.

Sorry about the lack of info there Berk - I always tend to give advice off my own experiences and knowledge which isnt good for most things such as nVidia are better than ATi.

i'm happy to help out, and can argue the toss as far as specs with mr.deject.

Hmm, I don't know if this is so useful to us, as most of us can put them together anyway. As its *over-simplifies* basically plug everything into the motherboard and then everything into the power supply. Well, pretty much. You could try and make a "Noobie How to Build PC's Guide"? But I know its not of much use to me, perhaps a vote around of who'd actually want this is in order? Anyone who wants it raise their hand?

i think the idea should be to have a guide on how to build a machine, just to be thorough.

and to have a guides for machine specs to consider.


If someone writes up a machine building guide, i'm happy to strip my machine and rebuild it taking a fuckload of photos

I for one would like a full idiot's-guide to building a PC. Things like power connections (to mobo that is, HDD and optical drives I can do...) and installing CPUs etc scare me for the simple reason that I've never done them or had cause to do them.

Combined with a hardware guide as argued and priced by deject and Berk I'd find it very useful.

If nobody else will, I can..

i'm pretty willing to, it's just a matter of me being arsed

This would've been my problem too. so its all yours.

will take a few weeks most likely, but i'll do it.

Hows about something for overclocking, I've ventured into the realms of graphics card overclocking but not had the guts for Processer cooking yet

really not in the scope of this article.

i might do a seperate one at some point, but this guide is the priority.

Oh yeah, I didn't mean as part of the PC building one, it's not usually a consideration for first time PC builds, just wacked in the 'requests for more guides' section

I want, I demand thee write the guide, perhaps, maybe *smiles a nice *non-evil* grin*

Pwitty please!

Thanks kindly!

I reckon deject should sort a list of wanted guides, and then people can sign up to write them

mine first, mine first, I win! I Win!

the pc building guide alread won.

bu....... b....... buu......... but...... im speshul

in short

raptors are best for performance, big drives with 16mb caches for storage.

ideally use a raptor for OS/games/paging file/apps. big HDD for porn.

raid is pretty useless for most people.
