About Book:

      To many people, a PC is a mystery, a box with flashing lights that makes strange whirring noises, This box lets you do useful things, such as play Tetris, send email to your mom, and check the latest ball scorsese, but the idea of opening it up to see how it does these things is something you haven’t even considered.You ‘d no’ sooner work on your own computer than you would open up your watch or your TV set to work on them. The truth of the matter, however, is the internal components of a PC are surprisingly user- friendly, much more so than a watch or a TV set. Because most of the PC s components are assembled in discrete modules, you can easily learn to perform basic repairs and upgrades, even if you are not handy with tools or familiar with electronics.

PC Hardware: The Complete Reference is an examination of PC’s basic components, of the peripheral devices you can use with a computer, and of the tools and techniques you can use while working on your pC . If you work with a computer at home or work but have never tried to upgrade, repair, or build one yourself . this book can get you started. If you provide technical support for PCs on a regular basis, either on the job or informally for friends and family, this book can serve as reference to the various components you may find in that mysterious box.
