Best Book of This Genre on the Market
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I bought this book and proceeded to build myself exactly the computer I wanted with confidence. It gives you enough useful general knowledge so that you don't feel afraid of the terms or descriptions of equipment anymore, and you realize that building a computer is going to be so difficult as you once thought. The author has definite preferences for various manufacturers, and the advice was good, so that I avoided some of the pitfalls of the junk that is out there. It is very informative, useful, and comprehensive. It cannot cover every piece of equipment made, of course, and someone who needs every piece described in detail will not be able to use it as well as someone who can understand the concepts involved. The author cannot be there to hold your hand-you have to have a brain to do the work. I think anyone who would rate this book badly would be someone who wants exactly their situation described, and to be told exactly what to do, because they are fearful or perfectionistic to a fault. The money I have saved using this book is worth ten times the price, and the knowledge I gained is priceless, because now I understand how computer go together.
A work of beauty is a joy forever.

This brick-sized book holds volumes of information for anyone who uses computers. Every topic you wish to know about is covered. I can find no faults at all. The author has a clear writing style, the illustrations large and annotated, and the CD holds programs that you can monitor the performance of your own computer system.This would make an excellent present for a computer student or an IT worker.
Encyclopedic, complete - a must-have reference!

Definitely not for the faint of heart, but for those with enough background, there is a treasure store of information about computers in general and components in particular - there is practically not a thing that goes in/outside of a computer that Mr. Press does not cover. Easy reading, and a five-star rating richly earned.
a great tool of reference for computer technician

The writing style along with the many diagrams and photos are incredible. This book covers hardware, software, even networking and shows you 5W + 1H. You can depend on this book to build up your knowledge. This book is not only a good reference for computer service professional, but also a great book in preparing for the A+ certification exam. The price of this book is reasonable.
Awesome is an understatement.

When I bought the book I didn't know how to turn my computer on . . . now I'm a network administrator!
