If you're thinking it's time for a new PC, but have never actually built one yourself, this book is for you.It's really nice to have a good amount of research done for you. The component choices made by Underdahl appear to be good ones. He also does a good job of making you aware of the most important tradeoffs.Though I have not bought any components yet, this book has been a Bible for me for the past 2 weeks -- an excellent reference, and food for thought.

The author's done a good job of describing each step necessary in building a system that does things like TiVo. The book even has a complete list on the inside cover telling me exactly what I need to buy to build the exact system described in the book. And in the back, is a 'shopping list' with pictures of each item-- VERY COOL!What impressed me the most was how each chapter doesn't attempt to cover too much and skip the details. If you are patient and handy with a screwdriver, I think you could probably follow the instructions and have this system running in no time.Plenty of pictures of each item being discussed are included, which was nice. I'm giving this 5 stars because the book does exactly what it claims on the cover... good job to the author.
