Tutorial

Is there any reliable site in internet where they teach you how to build a
PC of your own step by step.
TIA.

Many sites, actually, and some have excellent pictures to help you along.
Have you ever used your browser to do a 'search' for such information?

Hi, Bob.

As Sandman suggests, a Google search should turn up thousands (millions?) of
helpful sites.

There are also several Usenet newsgroups where peer-to-peer support from
other users might help or point to useful sites. For example:
alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt, or the NGs for users of the various
motherboards, such as the one I use: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.epox. Just
substitute .asus or .abit - or whatever you plan to use - after the final
..period.

I haven't bought an assembled computer since my Kaypro 286 in about '89. I
like to choose my own mobo, CPU, HD, and other components. Currently using
an EPoX EP-8KDA3+ with AMD Athlon 64 3200+ in an Enermax case.

R.C.,

How do you access those groups such as alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.epox?

Hi, Newtechie.

Using a news reader (such as Outlook Express) and a news server. Most ISPs
include access to a news server in their monthly subscription price; you'll
have to ask your ISP or read their documentation find the name and logon
procedures for the news server they provide. There also are a number of
news servers available for free or for a fee. (Google finds about 940,000
hits on "news server".)

Once you've created your News Account in OE (Tools | Accounts...), then
click that server and Newsgroups to download the list of newsgroups
available there. (You might need to be patient, especially if you are on
dial-up; my ISP's news server offers well over 100,000 newsgroups!) Once
you have the list, just type what you are interested in (asus, for example)
into the search box. This search is very fast and doesn't wait for you to
press Enter. Just start typing "a" and you will see a lot of NGs; make it
"as" and there won't be so many; "asu" might be enough to see the groups you
want. Or type mainboard to see NGs for several different brands.

The Microsoft public news server carries only the 2,000+ microsoft.public
NGs. Many other companies run private news servers for their customers.
But Usenet is kind of like the World Wide Web - it's just there for
everybody. And it predates the MS server by years - and is still adding
dozens of new NGs every week.

Well, if you can't master the use of the google search engine then you
shouldn't be attempting to assemble your own pc.

Hi, Newtechie.

I'm not sure what your question means. Go to www.google.com and click News.
Is that what you are asking for?

What I meant was to type into the Google search box the phrase "news
server", then click Search the Web. That's where I got about 940,000 hits.
Better yet, type "free news server" and get about 16,700 hits where you can
choose a news server that will serve up all (or most) of Usenet at no charge
to you. I can't recommend any specific server because I haven't tried any
of them; I use the news server that is included in my ISP's monthly
subscription fee.

As you will see on the Google home page, it also offers to search Groups,
which means that it will find messages within these newsgroups and display
them in your browser without your having to subscribe. This page has its
own search box for finding messages about EPoX, for example.

There's no need to be a smart @$$! I know how to use the search engine
within Google,
thank you very much! I was asking for the news server address for Google so
I could add
it in OE.
