Original publication from ADV Plans, LLC. Learn how we do it!

Have you ever thought about building your own PC? Actually buying a motherboard and a case ­ along with all the supporting components and assembling the whole thing yourself? Are you tired of going into your local big box store and finding out that the store bought off the shelf computers are either of very poor quality or very expensive? The only solution is to buy the components you want and put it together yourself. Our guide can show you how to do that.

Here are three reasons why you might want to consider taking the plunge:

1. You will be able to create a custom machine that exactly matches your needs. No more settling for what some company thinks you want.

2. It will be much easier to upgrade your machine in the future because you will understand it completely. The process will also help you understand how to troubleshoot it and fix it later. No more waiting on the phone for tech support in India

3. You may be able to save some money. Spend the money on what components are important to you, and don\'t spend any on components that are not.

And, if you have never done it before, you will definitely learn a lot about computers. But if you haven\'t done it before, the biggest question is where to start. You need to know how to pick out the right components so that everything is compatible, and you want to make sure you buy everything you need.

In this 104 page guide, with step by step instructions, with color pictures, we\'ll take you through the entire process of building a computer.

You\'ll learn how to choose the parts you will use, how to buy them and how to put them all together. When you\'re done, you will have exactly the machine that you need. This guide will arrive to you on a CD-ROM, in PDF format. This guide consists of the following topics:


Introduction and Game Plan

Will this guide make you a computer expert? No, of course, not. But what this step by step instructional guide is intended to do is to set you down the path of being able to confidently buy the parts for your own computer and teach you how you need to assemble them properly. If you have never built a computer before, but are up for the challenge, this guide is a must have starting point for any new computer builder.

Once you finish building your new computer, the first thing you will need is some software!

We are also including the below software FREE on this CD-ROM that this guide will arrive on.

More technical stuff for the brave

Color: There are several ways of selecting colors including a using an eyedropper to choose an existing color, palettes with a limited and color choosers. The built in color choosers include an RGB/HSV selector or scales, water-color selector, CMYK selector and a color-wheel selector. Colors can also be selected using hexadecimal color codes as used in HTML color selection. Indexed color and RGB color modes are supported natively, other color spaces are supported using decomposition where each channel of the new color space becomes a black and white image. CMYK, LAB and HSV are supported this way. The blend tool can apply a gradient to the surface of an image or for use with blending, gradients are also integrated into tools such as the brush tool, when the user paints this way the output color slowly changes. There are a number of default gradients included, a user may also create custom gradients with tools provided.

Selections and paths: There are several tools that can be used to create selections including a rectangular or circular selection tool, free select tool, fuzzy select tool (also known as magic wand). More advanced selection tools include the select by color tool for selecting contiguous regions of color and the scissors select tool which creates selections semi-automatically between areas of highly contrasting colors. This also supports a quick mask mode where a user can use a brush to paint the area of a selection, visibly this looks much like a ruby lith overlay whilst painting. The foreground select tool, is an implementation of Simple Interactive Object Extraction (SIOX) a method used to perform the extraction of foreground elements, such as a person or a tree in focus. The Paths Tool allows a user to create vectors (also known as Bézier curves). Paths can be used to create complex selections around natural curves, paths can also be named, saved, and painted (or \"stroked\") with brushes, patterns, or various line styles.

Image editing: when editing images there are many tools that can be used, the more common tools include a paint brush, pencil, airbrush, eraser and ink tools used to create new or blended pixels. Tools such as the bucket fill and blend tools are used to change large regions of space in an image and can be used to help blend images. It also has a selection of smart tools, which are tools that use more complex mathematics to enable a user to do things that otherwise would be time consuming or impossible; these smart tools include the clone tool that copies pixels using a brush, the healing brush which copies pixels from an area and corrects the tone and color where it is being used. The perspective clone tool works in a similar way to the clone tool previously mentioned but also allows a user to correct for distance changes. The blur and sharpen tool is a brush that blurs and sharpens. Finally the dodge and burn tool is a brush that makes target pixels lighter (dodges) or darker (burns). A list of transform tools include the align tool, move, crop, rotate, scale, shear, perspective and flit tools.

Layers, layer masks and channels: an image being edited can consist of many layers sitting in a stack, the user manual suggests that \"A good way to visualize an image is as a stack of transparencies\" where in this terminology each transparency is a layer. Each layer in an image is made up of several channels, in an RGB image there are normally 3 or 4 channels these consist of a red, green and blue channel individually these would each look like slightly different grey images but when put together they make a complete image. The fourth channel that may be part of a layer is the alpha channel (or layer mask), this channel measures opacity where a whole or part of an image can be completely visible, partially visible or invisible. Text layers can be created using the text tool, allowing a user to write on an image. Text layers are able to be transformed in several ways, such as converting it to a path or selection.



Automation, scripts and plugins: It has approximately 150 standard effects and filters, including Drop Shadow, Blur, Motion blur and Noise. Program operations can be automated with scripting languages.

There is no need to purchase another photo editing suite when this professional grade package will do the same thing for a fraction of the price. A full manual in pdf format is included on the disk.

It also supports any LDAP compliant address book, as well as common formats such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Windows, and Mozilla.

Math (Create equations and formula for your documents)

MATH is OpenOffice\'s component for mathematical equations. It is most commonly used as an equation editor for text documents, but it can also be used with other types of documents or stand-alone.

USA CUSTOMERS: Most times, your package will arrive in about 1 week after we ship them depending on where you are at.

If the item does not arrive, please email us directly and let us know, and we will make it right.

NON-USA CUSTOMERS: Same deal above, except your packages typically have been taking about 2 weeks or so after we ship them. We\'ve noticed that maybe 20% of overseas customers have been waiting as long as 4+ weeks for these shipments. The only explanation we can come up with is that it must be stuck in some container in some dock waiting on customs clearance. It happens, and for those 20% of customers, we apologize, but there is very little we can do about that. Your disk will arrive or we will replace it.

Multiple items purchased by the same customer may or may not be shipped in the same package, at our discretion. We do not offer any additional discounts on multiple items other than the ones noted above.

response Policy:

Please offer us a chance to fix any problems before leaving us negative response for any reason by emailing us first with your problem. The only thing we ask from our customers is that if they have a problem, that they give us a chance to fix the problem for them before they leave bad response. If negative response is left without any prior communication, we will assume you are no longer interested in communicating and working things out.

If you run into issues and wish to speak with us, we ask that you please refrain from opening a request on and email us directly by asking a question first, and give us a chance to answer you before you open a request!

If you have any questions prior to offerding, please use contact the seller above and let us know. Thank you!!!!!!
