Thanks mate.
We've finally refreshed our older guide on DIY

You forgot to remove the second dummy backplate for the graphic card. It's dual slot as i can see. Where will the hot air go!?? I belive it would be good idea to remove it.

Hello

As for as the building process goes, our guide is more than adequete to help you build your system. No sweat

This is for building a Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad system:- http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles...cid=19&id=2745

This is for building a Intel Core i7 system:-
http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles...cid=19&id=2894

This is for building an AMD Phenom II or Athlon II system:-
http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles...cid=19&id=2908


But cost is something that will vary every week; best to check out our price guides and price list download section to pick out what you need and then add it up.

http://www.hardwarezone.com/priceguide/

Price Guides are a consolidated method of sifting out prices by product/model type.
Price List Downloads are scanned price lists from shops.
