  Try to stick to one site to avoid spending a lot on shipping. Go to newegg and make sure every item you get is either a combo item or has free shipping. I saved 80 dollars by using combos for every piece of my latest rig. Sink most of your money into a video card, I would go EVGA if you are getting an NVIDIA card. They have a step up program so that if something new comes out within 90 days of your purchase you can upgrade by paying the difference between how much you paid versus the new card. Adds a lot of life to your computer for only 30ish dollars. You can go cheap on the case as long as it gets good airflow. AMD Phenom 2s are the best for the money atm, Intels are more powerful but the platform will cost you a lot more. Don't go cheap on a power supply, and make sure you get ram from a decent brand (Corsair, OCZ, GSkill). Get a nice after market heatsink too, this can greatly increase your performance through overclocking.

  Have fun, I love building budget computers.
  Here's an example, remember you can save a lot of money by re-using old pars (HDD, CD-DVD drive just depends what is compatible.)

  Copied from newegg it was 705.00 without shipping. All of these parts can be scaled down by the way. Just make sure you get a good video card!

  Just like any business, you need to define your target market and determine how to effectively reach them. Some possible target markets include:

  - Small business owners, who more often than not do not have a dedicated employee for computer repair needs. Most of small businesses also would rather outsource the repair and maintenance of their computers rather than spend too much time away from their core business to do the repairs needed.

  - Home business owners and one person businesses whose computers are extremely essential to the operation of their business

  - Retired baby boomers are another important possible target market for this business. Most of the old folks will not drive to town to get their computer fixed. Plus, many of them are not willing or do not have the technical know-how to do even simple fixes or installs.

  For additional information, read the following books:

  Your initial tables need to be :
  components (id int(6) primary key auto_increment, description varchar(35) unique key, type_id int(6), obsolete int(1) default 0);
  component_type (id int(6) primary key auto_increment, type_descn varchar(35) unique key);
  client_selection (order_id int(6) not null, component_id int(6));
  orders (id int(6) primary key auto_increment, user_id int(6), Order_date date);
  Coupled with a client table using an auto_increment id field and carrying each user's details you can link each build to the client, and an order. A client can make hundreds of orders this way, the data is linked by id, and each build can be distinguished from previous orders. A quantity order could be created using an additional table for build_1, build_2 etc, including a quantity field, the primary key id from this can be used to link groups of components to each of a different machine on the same order. You would then add a field to the client_selection table to identify which part fits in which machine. Keep the fields in each table to a minimum, use id links to identify data to it's client, machine, order, build etc. A price table listing prices against component id allows for simple costing updates, a table for prices at date of order against component id on the order could mean selling at one price today, increasing the price tomorrow and building the machine next week without upsetting the client. He gets billed what he was quoted. Small amounts of data and linking makes the system flexible, don't be afraid to modify tables as required during testing.

  There are lots of good cameras out there. Anything 5 megapixels or above will be fine. I like the Canon A series cameras.
  Here are some things to consider
  Camera size, do you need a really small and thin camera?
  Do you want rechargeable battery or easily obtained AA?
  do you want to make video?
  Do you need a high optical zoom or is 3x enough?
  Memory card type. SD is pretty much the standard and new computers all have SD slots. Sony cameras use memory sticks and they have had compatibility issues.

  hope this helps.

  You can't limit it to a certan amount of time with out special softwhere which you will need to buy and install, but you can however make your comuter shut down at a certan time of day by pasting

  '@echo off
  title Scheduled Shutdown Batch
  color A
  echo Enter Time To Shutdown (Use 24 hr format, eg 21:35)
  set /p stime=
  cls
  at %stime% ""shutdown -s -t 00"" >nul
  echo Your PC Will Auto Shutdown At %stime%
  echo Press Any Key To Exit
  pause >nul
  exit '

  into a notepad doccument and saving it as .bat , then when o click it you can input the time you wish it to shut down.

  Hope i helped =)

  There are screw extractors out there, but for a low torque application like this the best way is probably to take a toothpick, cut part of the tip off so it fits flush into the circular hole, put epoxy on it and tape or support it there overnight while the epoxy cures. Should come right out after that. I wouldn't recommend superglue, it is too brittle.
