What equipment do I need to build computers?

Filed under: list building software — admin @ 8:10 pm

I’ve designed a computer housing and had a prototype built. To cut down on the cost, I’m considering building the computers in my home rather than hiring a computer integrator. Can someone give me a list of the main types of equipment and software that I will need to do it properly? For example, I’m thinking I will need: (a) equipment for burn-in; (b) something for imaging the operating system and drivers onto the computers; and (c) rubber floor mats. Can you provide the model numbers, approximate price, and where to buy the equipment? Thanks in advance.

Basically all you need to assemble a computer is a screwdriver.

A. Not sure what you mean by "burn in"
B. Sounds like a DVD drive.
C Rubber floor mats? Not sure what you intend to do with these.

The best place to by computer hardware is Newegg.com, or Tigerdirect.com.

  2. since you sound like you have such a lack of knowledge on what is actually needed, your best option is to guy a pre built system.

    basic system you will need

    Motherboard
    CPU
    RAM
    Hard drive
    Graphics card (if the board downst come with intergrated graphics)
    Sound card (if the board doesnt have integrated sound)
    PSU (power supply unit)
    Case
    DVD drive

    Software
    Operating system, like windows or linux.
