Can anyone recommend a good online guide to building a PC from all of the little bitty parts?

I've done it a couple of times, but I've usually had a guru around to help me out with the rough spots. I don't want to mess up my new system....

Thanks,

Jaime
 
It doesn't require a like, degree in electrical engineering?

Otherwise hell, I'm interested too! :)

Or are you talking about slapping a motherboard in a case and plugging cards into it?
 
If you need help picking hardware, just ask the questions.

As far as actually building the computers... believe it or not, the motherboard manual will tell you pretty much everything you need to know. And you can follow directions on the windows install and be just fine.
 
Let us know what you are working with ($) wise, and what you want to do with it when it is running, IE and Word or F.E.A.R. @ 2048x1536. Also how long do you want to run this monster before the next upgrade.

Give us a little more info and we'll be more than happy to help you out :).
 
Thanks folks.

I have all the parts, or all the parts on order at this point....(cmon cpu!). This thing is gonna be sweet -- assuming I don't bollux the assembly.

I found a guide to putting it all together on Tom's Hardware that looks pretty detailed, but I'll be back here with specific questions and assistance for overclocking.

C'mon, give us some specs at least of what you ordered. :confused: ;)
 
Of course....

Antec Super Lanboy Case
Silverstone Strider 600w PSU
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
Thermaltake Big Typhoon
2 GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400
eVGA Geforce 7950 GX2
Creative Sound Blaster XFI Xtreme Music
Lite-On DVD burner
Seagate Barracuda 320 GB Drive
Logitech G15 Keyboard
Logitech G7 Mouse
Logitech Z5500 Speakers
HP2335 23"LCD Monitor

My biggest concern at the moment is whether or not the monstrous TT Big Typhoon is going to fit into the Super Lanboy case.
