From the Author
A hands-on book based on thousands of repairs and upgrades
The Hand-Me-Down PC began as a web site, through which I have answered over a thousand questions for readers world-wide. I have built and repaired thousands of PCs, from XT's to Pentium RAID servers, and the book material was selected by boiling that experience down to reflect the questions real users have. Pricing information and tips for getting the best deals are also included, since questions about PCs come down to dollars in the end. A draft version of the book, along with The Midnight Question can be found at www.daileyint.com
