Many people who enjoy desktop computers have considered building a system to their own specifications. The thing that stops most people is a lack of experience at working on things electronic.

Anyone can do it with a little help, information and advice. This article is an introductory guide to help you decide if you are ready to take the plunge. The main tasks you need to accomplish are as follows.

1. Choosing a motherboard
2. Deciding on, and purchasing computer component parts
3. Installing the RAM and Microprocessor
4. Actual Build up of the case with all parts ready to go
5. Installing the hard drive(s)
6. System start up and Troubleshooting
7. Software Setup

Why should you try to set up your own computer system? What are the benefits?

1. Creating a custom system that matches your needs is satisfying
2. Upgrading is easier since you built the system
3. You will be able to save money or get a better system than bought by retail
4. Your knowledge of computer systems will have grown exponentially

The first step is giving serious thought to what type and capacity a machine you need. At this point you can save money by not over specifying the machine. Is this computer to be inexpensive for your children? Is this for use in the living room for Internet surfing and watching or listening to types of media content? Is this to be a power machine for gaming or business use?

To get started let us assume this is your power machine complete with ability to do QA testing for software. In this case, you need a dual core CPUs (Central Processing Units) that are either Intel or AMD brand. You also need a minimum of 4GB of high speed RAM (random access memory). Since you plan to do video editing you need four SATA hard drives or two SATA type and one or two SSDD (solid-state disk drive). You need peripheral connections via USB2 or fire wire on the front and back of your case.

All of those things need to fit into a case that has enough space to hold everything and still leave room for proper airflow from fans for cooling. You can now see how important it is to be sure about what type of machine you really need, really want or can really afford before you start build up. Now it is your decision, are you ready to build your customized powerful desktop computer?

While new technology is always exciting, the most successful tech startups have the potential to make the initial investors very wealthy people. This hope may be the underlying catalyst, but going down in history as the creator of some technological miracle is also rewarding. Certain preliminary studies have to take place and an analysis made, with a workable plan created, that answers several key questions. Without doing so, the odds are slim that the business venture will succeed.

The evolution of new technology shows that the first and most important part of any plan is to establish intellectual property rights and protection. In many cases, it is the idea for the new technology that creates the whole worth of a developing company. Industry analysts estimate that 75 percent of American public company’s value derives from their intellectual property.

Written plans cover the expected potential for development of the idea or concept, and the expected evolution and marketability. Strategy brainstorming helps to obtain initial cash flow to develop a prototype or working blueprint that will interest potential investors. Historically, most successful tech startups have needed little cash on hand in order to get started, as their overhead is low. Those that do succeed have tremendous potential for high returns to the investors, who typically expect those returns to begin within a three to five year window. However, these venture capital investors do assume high risk of losing their money.

Most successful tech startups realize that in order to continue growth, highly skilled team members who specialize in other areas are critical. Technology entrepreneurs need marketing people who create business and pricing campaigns to propel their product into the minds and pocketbooks of consumers. Competition eventually comes into play, and sometimes it is not the superior concept that wins out, but the best marketing strategies.

Some tech startups decide to sell the rights to their product if another established company comes up with a high enough offer. Other times the new company will continue to develop it themselves, which usually expands to variations and offshoots of the original product. The cycle continues as some of these offshoots sell as new tech startups. While new technology is state-of-the-art, so is the evolution of ways to stay ahead of the competition.
