Many PC users feel daunted by the prospect of opening up their computer case, but the inner workings of a desktop PC are less complex than you might think. This issue of PC Explorer aims to provide a definitive guide to every component that makes up a computer — from the motherboard and CPU to the power supply and case.
If you're a complete beginner, we'll introduce the concepts you need to understand; if you're thinking of upgrading, we'll explain the features you should be looking for in your new hardware. You'll also find tips for system builders, so if you want to put together your own computer from scratch there's plenty of reference material to call upon here.
We don't stop there though. We've also produced comprehensive guides to the external hardware, gadgets and periperhals that you might want to buy to add extra functionality and features to your PC. Whether you're in the market for a new digital camera, or you need to tweak the Windows audio settings, you'll be able to find a guide to help.
You'll also find a dedicated digital home section which focuses on the convergence of PCs and other media devices — there's a wealth of information here on systems that won't look out of place in your living room, whether you're building one from scratch or buying a pre-built system. Finally, there's a collection of guides that provide advice for maintaining a healthy hardware setup, ensuring that you minimise potential problems that might crop up in the future.
