the motherboard manual should be all you need. it's really simple. most new motherboards have an autorecognition of whatever cpu is put in so all you have to do is lift a lever, match the pins, lower lever, et voila.
otherwise it's still pretty simple. will be two rows of little switches. one for a base speed and one a multiplyer... say a 1ghz chip: set at 10 x 100mhz etc. |

Well, I just don't know...I will probably end up buying from newegg and trying to do it myself...Does anyone know of a GOOD guide to installing AMD chips onto a mainboard? I mean, besides the obvious manuals that come with them. I googled it, but came up with quadzillions of hits... |

Is there a PC Club near you - they usually take pretty good care of folks.
I got a kit and put it together - pretty easy. It woulda been cheap but I upgraded some components and ran the price up.
I agree - the processor chip should be no problen to install - it is easier to do before you mount the motherboard...most of the other connections are pretty straight forward - they will only go one way and in one place. Some of the switch and lamp wiring can be confusing - but not too bad.
Good Luck

tiger direct has good prices, but their customer service (after the sale) is the WORST. I made the mistake of buying from them once. Never again. |

"The only part that really worries me is putting the processor (amd Socket a) onto the mainboard..."
its pretty easy, the socket is keyed so you cant put it in wrong. its almost impossible to mess it up.
but if yo dont think you can do it go to tigerdirect.com. your not gonna find shit cheaper than at new egg though. |

I don't know about building one - I considered that, but recently I decided to let Cybertron PC (www.cybertronpc.com) build me one instead. It was cheap and it works perfectly. Check out their web page, they have a configurator there somewhere.
They won't even put an operating system on there or format the hard drive(s) if you don't want them to, much less put all the shit on it that Dell or somebody would. I'm more than satisfied with what I got from them and with their service.

Hi there fellers...I am putting a computer together soon, but I am apprehensive about actually building the thing myself. I am ordering all the parts from newegg but they dont preassemble the pc, I was wondering if one of you guys know of a reliable site that does this sort of thing. The only part that really worries me is putting the processor (amd Socket a) onto the mainboard...and I am not sure about most of the cables and connections. The rest of it I am pretty sure I can do on my own. I figure someone here may know something about where to buy a preassembled purely customized computer online.
Thanks |
