Synopsis

When this work first appeared in 1991, you could build a computer out of mail order parts for half what it cost to buy one at a local dealer. Since then, prices for motherboards, memory, display monitors, and other components have plummeted to unheard of levels in the past year, making it possible to assemble a top-of-the-line, 100% IBM-compatible computer at less than one-third the cost of any commercially sold model. "Build Your Own 80486 and Save a Bundle" shows how. Aubrey Pilgrim demonstrates how to build a lightning fast, high-powered 80486 PC with any combination of peripherals, input devices, and graphics capabilities. DIY-ers learn how to select the right computer configuration for their needs, how and where to get the best components at the lowest possible prices, and how to assemble a PC from scratch using little more than a screwdriver and a pair of pliers.
