    Default I want to build some pc's...but I don't know how?...

    can someone help me out here
    you see i want to replace all the current systems in my internet cafe
    since they are pretty old and i think its about time i replace them all to make my customers happy
    however seeing how many pcs i need (going to replace 15 at first to see how they get on and then replace other half after)
    i have seen the best offer for a full decent system + monitor is like £299 and thats fine by me so i was thinking buying something like this

    ok but well its an internet cafe and all they really need to do iss urf the net so i figured... so much performance isnt really needed like 160gb harddrive theres no need.. i ghost image the computers every week anyway to remove all the dirty videos and other stuff some people leave onto it and all viruses and crap
    -----------long crap out the way----------
    so ive been told its much cheaper to build these pcs myself so can someone point me to a detailed but easy to understand guide of how to get started etc
    and in the UK where is a good place to buy quality components for cheap prices somewhere where i could buy a bit of bulk would be nice any help will be really appreciated

    You can always take a class of some sort. I took a class all about computers last summer, and I have the knowledge to build/or customize my own.

    If not,

    Heres 3 book -

    I live in America, so I wouldn't know any stores in the U.K.

    If your internet cafe is for people who just surf the net, luckily, its gonna be pretty cheap.

    ok thanks for the help
    is there any websites which help you to build a pc like um...
    it will let me add components to my basket and if they are not going to work together it will tell me or something like that :/
    also im looking to make pcs with spec similar to this
    http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/pro...rmationSection
    but a bit more basic so basically just a machine that will run and be able to surf the net smoothly and will not boot slowly etc etc and also used for chatting on msn etc

    1 last thing for what i need them to be used for would it be better off with a cpu 2.8ghz or around or will something less like 1.8 or so do the job?

    1.8 ghz would do the job but, 2.8 ghz is always better.


    I have x2 2.66 ghz running on my comp.
