Check Around To See If You Have All The Needed StuffThe Perfect Place To Work

Most importantly, prior to all the computer parts required, you need to have an appropriate workplace preferably a work bench, but could be a tough, well-made table big enough to easily accommodate all your equipments. Your work place must be well lit, dirt free, dry, and if possible made in wood. Having a socket to supply AC power in close proximity is equally vital; you will need it to test your final setup.

• The Type Of Machine And Your Budget

The computer parts that you will want depend on the type of computer you desire to build. It can be a small, simple machine to do net surfing, emailing and running some elementary applications or a video gaming device or something more complex if you are involved in fields of research, engineering, video editing etc.  Give a thought about your budget and decide accordingly. With increase in complexity of your system, you will be requiring more “stuff” and the costlier ones.

• Tools To Shape Up The System

For making all parts fix to each other, you need to have at least some of the basic tools. Screws and nut drivers, plastic tape to fasten all the cables together, tweezers or forceps or needle nosed pliers, heat basin device with a container to keep all the tools together are the indispensable ones. Instead of going out searching each and every tool separately, prefer to buy an economical computer repair tool kit.

• Actual Machinery Comes Into Action

The Basic Layout
Choose the type of mouse and keyboard you want from the range available, maybe a ball mouse or a laser one, a wired keyboard or the wireless one. Take out time to decide the “look” of your system. With huge varieties of computer screens available, you can go for the box type computer with the fancy, colored LCDs screens. Stick to your budget.

After making selection of the appropriate hardware, the next step that comes in is to choose proper software for the machine. You need to take care of the two types of software, system software which is nothing but the operating system and the other are the application software.
The Software To Operate The System – System Software
Operating System is the soul of the PC. It is the Operating System installed in the computer system that cause the computer to boot, handles the interaction between the hardware system and the application software system, simplifies the coding process for application developers, holds responsible for transfer of data between various application and a lot more. Thus, it is very important to choose a suitable OS for your system.

One by one, you have to now assemble the hardware and install the software to make your PC come to life.
Fixing The Ram And Processor On The Motherboard

• Your first step will be to mount the microprocessor chip on the motherboard.  You will find a socket for the chip on the board. Bring the marked corner of the chip and the socket in line and gently rest the chip in it. Be wary not to apply force.
• Next, you have to install the heat sink. It’s simple. Position it in the right place, use the flanges to seal it down and finally fix it in place using the cam.
• Now, you need to attach the RAM on the motherboard in a slot marked “one”. Apply substantial amount of pressure to fix the RAM in the slot, the rotating arms on both sides causing the RAM to lock.

Placing Everything In Their Correct Positions In The Case

• Position the motherboard and the faceplate properly in their respective casings inside the case. You will need some screws to fix the two in place and connecting wires to attach to the motherboard.
• Next is the turn to affix the power supply inside its holder within the case. The side of the supply with a fan is placed on the outer side of the container.
• Finally connect the power supply leads, both, to the main board.

The Last Step Of Hard Drive(S) Installation

• Lastly, place the hard drive and the optical drive in their casings correctly and gently within the case. Use screws to hold the drives properly in the places. Find the right space inside the box, optical drive sits in the front. Supply them with power by fixing them with the connectors from the power supply. Finally push the cable from the back of the drives into the IDE connector of the motherboard marked “1”. At this point, you can even insert video card into the right slot of the board. Lock the case, screw it up and get ready to run your computer.

On the successful installation of the OS, you can start loading the downloaded setups of different applications. Hence, here is ready your picture perfect Personal Computer.
Teachings Skills Are Also Essential
In order to get success from the job of making people acquire the skill to build their own computer, it is equally important on your part to enhance your teaching skills.

• Students are more attracted towards a teacher who teaches them in a lively manner.
• If you are too rigid, too technical with the choice of your words, too strict and harsh; then it will be a tough task for you to earn money this way.
• No child takes pleasure in listening long, drawn out “stories” which has no fun.
• You need to be imaginative, show your showmanship, and be vivid and appealing in order to draw the interest of students.
• You are likely to get more students if you take up more of practical classes than the theory lessons.

On the whole, if you are a good tutor, have proficiency in making of computer, get free time and most importantly willing to handle students; then this mode of making money teaching people how to build their own computer is surely meant for you.
