by: Chris Silop
If you are reading this article, you are probably wondernig, why and how do you build a computer. Building your own computer is more simple than you think and has many benefits.
Why Build A Computer?
Building a computer has many benefits over buying a premade. First of all, it is generally cheaper if you build your own than buying one. If you shop your components, your DIY(Do it yourself) computer will be cheaper than its premade equivalent. If you build your own computer, it will be faster than one that is premade, because most computer manufacturers use cheap components and try to cut corners to cut down costs. Additionally, your self built computer has more room to upgrade if you so decide to in the future. Prebuilt computers usually only have enough expansion slots for the components that are going to be in the computer. Because of this, your prebuilt computer will become obsolete sooner. Also, building a computer is a satisfying experience and you will learn more about how your computer works.
How do I go About Building a Computer?
Building a computer is probably much simpler than you think. Especially now, things have been simplified and standardized. First, you pick out components and make sure they are all compatible. Once you get the parts, you put them together! This guide was made to show you how to do everything and contains pictures and good information to make building a computer a fun and rewarding experience.

Printers: What Really Happens When You Hit ?Print?
Printers: What Really Happens When You Hit ?Print?
by: Bill Smith
You just poured hours upon hours into a lengthy research paper. All that?s left to do is print it out. And that?s the easy part, right? Sure looks easy from the user perspective, but it?s actually quite complicated. A series of critical processes kick off as soon as you kit the OK button.
The first thing that happens is your software application (MS Word, Excel, etc) sends the data you want to print to your printer driver. The printer driver is nothing more than some software that translates data into a format that your specific printer can understand. When you buy a new printer, it generally comes with a CD. On that CD is the printer driver software you need to enable your specific printer to talk to your computer.
The printer driver takes the translated data and physically sends it along to your printer. It?s able to connect to the printer via the USM connection interface....

The Printer Cartridge Game
The Printer Cartridge Game
by: Bill Smith
Think you got a great deal on a printer? Like the rest of us, you probably paid $50 to $75 for a decent Epson or Lexmark printer. What?s the catch, you might have asked? Most salesmen would say there is no catch. They?d probably go into a rant about how the printer market has gotten more competitive, driving prices way down. While that?s a true statement, it isn?t the primary reason for such inexpensive printers these days.
So, why are printers so inexpensive? It?s pretty simple ? printer manufacturers need you to buy their printer model so you?re forced into buying their outrageously-priced ink cartridges. It?s kind of like the relationship between a gasoline company and car manufacturer, except in this situation the printer company is supplying both the automobile and the fuel. Gas companies wouldn?t make any money if no one owned an automobile. In the case of printer manufacturers, things are a little...

Ok, so you have decided to buy a new printer ! The old printer is getting "cranky" the print quality is down, and it is slow ! Here is what I would suggest that you do.
Sit down at the kitchen table or wherever with pen and paper or at the computer with notepad or a word processor.
Determine how many pages a day you will be printing.
If the number is over 8 pages a day and we are talking everyday toss all printers priced below $100.00 , these are "home class" printers and they will wear out quickly.
The inkjet printer market , because of the volume that is bought is one of the most "price-driven" markets in the computer industry.
There are many gimmicks used to lower the price of an inkjet printer, the two most prevalent

How to ?Download? Your Old Computer to the Highest Bidder
by: Donald Lee
When you think trash, you surely don?t think about your old, trusty personal computer. But that?s exactly what will become of it when you make the inevitable move toward your next laptop or desktop. And, yes, buying a new computer is inevitable, considering the pace at which computer technology zips along. Just think?about a handful of years ago, a fast microprocessor for a laptop was at 233 MHz. Now you?re looking at about at least 2 GHz! That?s Giga, with a G.
So eventually, you will want a computer that can handle the latest software, the latest games, and the latest interactive Web sites, and then you?ll have to throw away your old computer, right? Wrong. Try selling your used computer instead. Throwing out your computer is one of the worst things you can do. For one, your computer may be useful for someone out there, even if just for scraps.

Build Your Own Computer or Buy?
Build Your Own Computer or Buy?
by: Ron King
Just look inside a computer case. At first glance, all those wires and components can look terrifyingly complex. And thinking about putting them all together by yourself may seem impossible.
Not to worry! Even though they are the products of advanced technology, the various pieces of a personal computer (PC) fit together with simple connections. If you can use a screwdriver and follow simple instructions, you can build your own PC.
Don't be intimidated by the task of connecting the computer components together. Many of the internal connections are molded so that it is impossible to fit them together the wrong way. If you have ever assembled a child's toy, you are more than capable of assembling a computer.
Advantages Of Building Your Own
You are probably asking yourself why anyone would bother to build a PC. After all, you can buy a cheap computer in almost any retail store.

Picking Furniture for a Nursery
Picking Furniture for a Nursery
by: Bob Benson
Furnishing a nursery can be a wonderful time for an expectant mother. Not only is it fun to prepare for the birth of a baby, but it gives the expectant mother an outlet for those nesting instincts that will soon kick in. A lot of well-meaning people (i.e. parents and in-laws) will convince you that you simply must have certain furniture for your new baby?s room.
Some of the furniture you will likely consider...
