Learn how to Build Your Own PC

Do you want a new basic, cheap PC without paying for bells and whistles you don’t need?
Or
Do you want all the bells and whistles but want to understand how to choose them?

Come along and learn how to build your own PC.

How it works

The class starts with discussion of the parts you need to build a PC and then during the class you’ll :

  • Put together your own new PC
  • Install Microsoft Windows and anti-virus software
  • Transfer data and email from your old PC (optional)
  • Set up your new PC how you want it

so when you take it home it is all ready to go.

Purchase the parts on the day (with help and advice from the instructor) or bring them with you (from any supplier).

The class costs $50 per person plus any parts you buy  ($500 upwards for a complete PC)
