Question on building PCs

Yeah I agree with Grafficks, Books get outdated real quick but Internet guides / Forums are always up to date because they can be easily updated at anytime, So if you ever have questions just ask here

Still, there are a lot of know-nothings who write books and magazines and flyers on how to build computers. About PC is one of them. They will suggest such things as "Blow out the case with compressed air, or suck out the air with a vacuum cleaner, when those both generate ruinous static electricity.
I suspect many of these people are writers who have actually worked on five computers or less. There is a lot of dangerous information out there.
You can luck out on building your computer, but you are at risk if you don't have experience at doing it.

As Maimonides once said, "Just because it is in books doesn't mean it is true."

Anybody can write a book. Anybody can write a magazine article.

Did you know that half the writers for the major computer magazines are journlists, rather than technicians or engineers.

blowing and vacuuming computers is not dangerous if you ground yourself and the computer. NOT doing cleaning at all is worse.

Just because one has 5 years experience in an area doesn't mean someone with less experience cannot be equal to them in that area or even better. Many people on this website have less than 5 years experience, myself included, and I most of us could probably write computer building guides too.

PS. Techspot people PWN books!

I agree with MetalX, Techspot does pwn books :haha:

Also he is right... More years of experience doesnt mean they are better then less years of experience, I been building computers for almost a year and I know more then some people who been building for longer then I have

i already sorted out what i'm doing, i'm ok, look on gaming and consoles

I know, I helped you with picking out the parts

For the record, raybay actually said this:

Five as in number of computers, not five as in number of years' exp.
Everybody!! Read carefully!! :haha:

I know this is the wrong place to ask but when I try to register on newegg.com I cannot pick Ontario because I live in Ontario will newegg send products to me?

No, they only ship to the US and Puerto Rico (I just found that out from another post).

Are you sure he didn't edit it? I don't remember seeing that... Oh well my bad I guess.

And N1Hawk, go to http://www.tigerdirect.ca That's a Canadian website similar to Newegg but with slightly less stock.

Thanks for the site MetalX, I was looking for a site like newegg.com because they have a wish list for us to price items without putting them into a shopping cart, but thanks!

That's why they made a Calculator N1Hawk

Yeah but not everyone has the luxury of having newegg ship to their house
