Build a Computer

Has the Silver Citizen guy gone crazy:
Build a computer - ME?

NO, I haven't: Building your own computer can be a fun and entertaining project. While you may think this is a complex task that requires years of experience and special training, you will be pleasantly surprised to know, that is far from the truth.

I will show you all the details right here: Near the bottom of this page is my Crash-course to build your computer in a snap: Believe me; you can do this yourself, with a little help from me: Easily! And everything I'll teach you is FREE!

Remember, I am a Senior Citizen like you, with an attitude!

Just let me outline a few of the advantages if you decide to build a computer by yourself:

• You will save 100's compared to buying an off-the-shelf product
• You can afford to give away a computer as a gift to your grandchild
• You can replace your old computer with a new and much better one
• You will (quickly) learn a new and (to others) impressive skill
• You most likely have all the tools you need already
• You can do maintenance by yourself in the future
• Your new computer will most likely be better and faster than off-the-shelf products

Imagine: Within a couple of days from now, all you need to build a computer will arrive at your doorstep (I'll show you from where): And inside your house, you are equipped with all the knowledge you need (my crash-course) to put it all together and make it work!

You could either build a computer by yourself and surprise the whole family, or you could do it as a project together with your grandchild: Imagine the little one coming over to continue building his/her own computer together with Grandpa and/or Grandma! And then naming the computer Grandma (or Grandpa)! I love that: What a show-off for the little one, having such a Gran: And with my free articles, right here, you can!

With a simple set of tools (it doesn’t take much more than a screw driver) and some patience, you can have your personal computer up and running in a few short hours. O.k., so maybe a few hours is expecting a little much.

Follow my quick guide and I’ll at least have you up and running by the end of the day. Or you could stretch the project out to your - and eventually, your grandchild's - liking.
