How to Build a Computer - Video Tutorial

[LiNuX]

I told some of you that I'll be working on this video and here it is. It would have been up earlier but youtube gave me some issues with the uploads. And I probably would have had something like this up years ago if I remembered to record, but this time, I bought parts for just this demonstration.

It's not of professional quality and I know I do mess up when describing things or mentioning parts, meaning I say one thing when I mean another, but that's because I never really talk about it when building a PC, I just do it and normally it takes 20-30 minutes. But this one took about an hour since I had to explain things and make sure the recording went fine.

But anyway, the video has 5 parts to it, if you need help with anything or have any questions, feel free to ask here or in the video itself, I'm providing support/answers in both places. Enjoy:

nice tutorial Linux, how is this pc u built for gaming?

[LiNuX]

The one you see in the video isn't being put to use. I'm going to sell it but the parts are pretty good, it'll play any game out right now along with games coming out within the next year (assuming some developer doesn't make a crazy resource consuming game).

The one I'm on right now, I built almost 3 years ago and it still plays games coming out. The only thing I upgrade was the GPU a few months ago and even that's out dated by about a year and a half. So they're both decent.

so the pc in this video would cost about how much ruffly

[LiNuX]

I spent about $550 altogether. Doesn't count the Mouse, keyboard, or Monitor. But it took me about 2 months to gather the parts, I waited for the right time to buy each part, waited for sales and stuff, otherwise the parts would have easily cost $700+.

I just watched them all :-)

Your building skills are so much better than mine XD and that case is pretty epic.

I thought so too but the case made me mad. I edited out about 20 minutes of complaining because the hard drive only fit backwards and the PSU was on the bottom so the wiring was messed up, especially with the CPU cable.

Thats pretty sad because the case is really is amazing.
Its a lot easier to repair a PC when you don't have to unscrew those nasty screws every time.

Very nice Man, I should have Made something like this when I built my PC.
but like you I forgot to record it.

Also how much would you sale this PC for?

Thinking about building PC's for People and selling them to make a little cash.

Around $650-$750 depending on what OS the buyer wants. I still haven't activated Win7 on it because if I do, my expenses will go up by almost a $100.

And I already do that - Nazmus Computers :: Affordable Custom Computer Building Services in New York City (http://www.nazmus.com) - my tutorials are on there too and my main services are still there for those that need help or can't do it on their own. Been doing this for several years now but I only put up the site last year. Business isn't booming but there is the occasional order.

Man I'll have to keep this thread in mind for one day when I get the balls to build my very own PC <:

Thanks Linux! : D

I'll probably watch these when I get around to pc building, but I just have to know - do we get to see what you look like? lol

No, you see my hands though. Me pointing to things and installing things. It's almost a first person view tutorial, you see the angle I'm seeing.
