Conclusion
Introduction
Build your own computer? It’s not as hard as you might think. It’s a matter of buying and assembling the parts to design and craft the perfect machine for your purposes.
Why build your own computer? Let’s think about this a minute.
First of all, you might suppose you can save money by building your own machine. That’s not true, unfortunately. At any given level of performance, you can buy a ready-built computer more cheaply than you can build one, especially if you take the time to shop around a bit. That’s because the markup on the parts when you buy them retail (as you’ll have to do unless you want to build a lot of machines) is considerable. The labor to assemble the computers is, by comparison, a trivial cost, and as competitive as the computer market has become these days, the price of ready-built computers is dropping through the floor. And that’s even before you figure in the value of included software and the manufacturer’s warranty.
So you won’t save money; in fact, you’ll end up spending more money. Why do it, then? There are two reasons and they’re both good ones.
First, you’ll get exactly the computer you want. When you buy a pre-made machine, you’re buying someone else’s idea of what a computer ought to have in it, not your own. (Unless you order your computer custom-built, and in that case you will save money by doing it yourself.) Whether you want super graphics capacity for the latest games, built-in wireless internet, a half-dozen ports for printers, or a sound card and speakers capable of being a top-flight stereo system, you can make your computer precisely what you want it to be without any compromises.
Not only will you have exactly the hardware you want, but also exactly the software. Premade computers usually come with software already installed, and that’s fine if it’s the software you want, but a waste of disk space otherwise. What if you don’t want the latest edition of Windows but would prefer to run Linux? What if you have a favorite office software suite and aren’t interested in Microsoft Office? And why clutter up your computer with silly dinky games you’ll never play?
The other reason is that you will, by building your computer, learn how to do that. In learning how to build a computer, you’ll also learn how to upgrade one. As fast as the world of computing is changing, as fast as new technological advances render machines obsolete, the ability to open up your computer and install more memory, a bigger hard drive, a faster processor, or an upgraded graphics card is a useful skill. It isn’t a very hard skill to learn, but it does
