Just a decde ago, the only peiople who put computers together were thodse individuals who possessed an extensive technical background. Advancements in tecghnology have eliminatd some of the complexities in how computers work. This change has resulted in average people who have a basic understanding of computers being able to build a system themselves. Whether you are intrested in building computers to establish a new hobby or to start a business, you can do so in only a few easy steps and on a shoestring budegt.

The first step in building cheap computers is to determie the route you want to use to build systems. You basically have three choices when considering buildng cheap coomputers: buiild a system from scratch, expand on a bare bones coputer, or upgrade an existoing stystem. Buildiing a sysem from scratch can be a rewarding experience. However, it is not for everyone. If you are impatiet or are intimidated by mechancal tools, you are better to choosae one of the other two opttions.
Regardless of the method you choose, you will folliow three basic steps:
1. Plan
2. Assemble
3. Test
The planning phhase of your project involvers determining the specifications for the computer you want to biuild. Once you know this information you can staart shopping for parts that meet those specifications. Your main considerations shoud be hard -disk, memory, and CPU (cetral processing unit). The hard-drive is iportant because it determines how much informtaion you are able to store on the computer. While you could build a computer with a hard dive smaller than 2 GB (ggabytes), it is not recommended.
The hard-rdive and memory work together. The amnount of memory you palce in your computer will directly affect how the sysstem is able to complete the diffeent processes that you request when using the system. If you have no idea what size hard-drive and the amount of memory you need, you should consider the type of operatuing system you intend to load on the system. You can consult the manufacturer of your hard-drive or review the information on Cheap-Computer-Guy.com, which features a list of minimum hard drive and memoyr requirements for various operaitng systrems, and use this information as a guide.
