I had an offer to teach a night computer class about how to build your own PC. Here's the class description:
LEARN TO BUILD YOUR OWN COMPUTER
Have you ever wondered about all those noises your computer makes while you are working? In this class we will explore everything that goes on inside the magic box by building one, step-by-step. You will receive tips on how to upgrade your computer and add memory. This program is open to all levels of experience and is designed to unravel some of the mysteries that often make humans and computers opponents. This class will focus on the IBM Compatible PC. You will leave the class ready to build or upgrade your own computer.
This class is a non-credit class so I don't have to worry about grades/sylibus(sp?)/attendance/ect. The bad thing is I have to plan the time to meet, the textbook, the lessons, and then I have to decide what computer parts I want to use etc. I've switched out parts, but never actually build a computer from scratch. I know that I can though. This is where I need a little help.
Also what parts would you recommend I use? I'm leaning towards a midtower Petium II (not sure about speed), 64 MB RAM, a simple video card and sound card (nothing too fancy or expensive), and a network card. I have no clue about the type or brand of motherboard I need or should use. If anyone has any other suggestions, I would really appreciate them.
