A PC-builder and a power PC-user maintain that “building PCs isn’t just for techies anymore. Going beyond a cookbook approach, the Thompsons offer rationales for their recommendations. After listing the reasons for building one’s own system and noting the now widespread availability of components, they provide step-by-step instructions with photos for all phases of building machines to fit specific needs (e.g., for gaming, small business, a home theater).
