Title: Save your money to buy better components
Review: Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I have to agree with other unflatering reviews. This book does not provide any of the detailed information required to build a PC. The four example systems built are redundant for the most part. There's virtually no troubleshooting information and no discussion of tradeoffs between the competing systems (price, performance, relaibility, etc.). The information that is provided is sometimes better explained in the associated product information.Again, I guess I was expecting more detail from this book, but I still don't think it's even appropriate for the beginner.Bottom line ... save your money and buy some some better parts for your PC system.
