My First Attempt at Building a Computer

August 30, 2007 by Phil Gons

Due to some problems I was having with my three-year-old Dell Inspiron 5150, I decided to get a new computer. Instead of buying from Dell or elsewhere, I ended up building my own computer from scratch. I purchased all the individual components, assembled them, installed the OS and drivers, and then installed all my software. I thought I’d share my experience as a first-time builder for those of you who have considered doing the same thing.

Hardware

Here are the components I purchased:

  • $97 Motherboard: EVGA nForce 650i Ultra 775 T1 (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $165 CPU: Intel C2D E6320 1.86MHz (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $134 RAM: 4GB (4x1GB) of OCZ Gold DDR2-800 PC2-6400 (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $66 GPU: MSI GeForce 7600 GS 256MB w/ Dual DVI (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $234 HD: 2x 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $40 PSU: Antec Neo HE 500w (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $0 Case: Ultra Wizard Mid-Tower ATX Case (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $0 Fans: 2x 120mm Powmax Typhoons (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)
  • $42 DVD-RW: Lite-On 20X (NewEgg | ZipZoomFly)

$778 total (includes shipping and after rebates)

$20 off $50 Purchase and Free Shipping

December 5, 2006 by Phil Gons

I just bought three books from Buy.com for a little over $30. The same three books would have cost me closer to $60 at Amazon. If you use Google Checkout, you save $20 instantly. There is no limit to the number of orders that you can place. This really is a phenomenal savings (that’s 40% off for those of you who were reaching for your calculator). Plus you get free shipping on orders over $25. I highly recommend checking this out.
