A wonderfully thorough and well-organized handbook, and possibly the best book to have in hand before starting to build a computer, especially for a novice. Best hands-on computer book I've seen in nearly 30 years of messing with the things.
Now longer will I be a slave to Dell. I'm building my own PCs and I can't imagine a better guide.
