Great Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The book is excellent except that the enclosed cd is not what I expected and would open only with DVD player, not computer. I would still strongly recommend this book to someone who wants to learn a lot more about computers and how to repair or improve them.
Complete and easy to understand
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book contains detailed information on practically all subjects required for working with PCs. If you need explanation on how to build a network, it is there. If you need information on how to change the CPU in your motherboard, it is also there. Historical additional details emphasize the didatic flavour of the book. Highly recommended.
Amazing amazing book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is amazing - not only does it contain everything current a person could ever need to know about current PCs (and if something new does come out, the author will talk about it on the included website), but the author is kind enough to include any previous edition of the book on the included DVD. I had thought that I was fairly knowledgeable about computers, and reading this has boosted that knowledge considerably. No repair tech or computer builder should be without this.
Great Reference!

This is the book you want if you need to know the technical details on what's inside a PC. If Scott Mueller continues to update this reference, I'll continue to buy it every few years.
A First Rate Reference Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
At first glance, one may think that this mammouth sized book is for power user's only. Afterall, it goes into exhaustive detail on literally every aspect of the modern PC. The book explains everything from basic maintenance, to partitioning a hard drive, to upgrading your processor etc. This new edition also gives extra SCSI coverage. But don't let the size and the technical jargon scare you away. This book is actually for everyone, from the novice computer user to the most advanced. Surprisingly, Mueller is able to take what is very complex and explain it with a clarity that any layman can understand. Added is a full array of diagramns and dialogue boxes with helpful hints and tips.Most people will never use all of the information that this book provides. Nonetheless, whatever you are looking for, I guarantee you will find here. Plus you will find it easily. Mueller arranges the book so that it is easy to bypass any unrelevant information and swiftly locate your particular need.It could be said that this book is to the personal computer what Gray's Anatomy is to the human body. It is a must for every PC owner!
