"PC Hardware Projects and Creations" is a must-have reference for anyone interested in taking a hands-on approach to creating hardware. Beginning with an introduction to various components that make up a PC, such as motherboards, power supplies, operating systems, and more, this book guides readers through the creation of their own hardware. The book discusses the advantages and disadvantages of buying or building a new PC and includes step-by-step tutorials that provide an overview of the project, options for building a project, and building instructions for selected hardware. Projects covered include personal video recorders, free to air satellite receivers, a wall hanging jukebox, a console emulator, arcade machine, CarPC, and a robot built out of old PC hardware. The companion CD-ROM includes images and schematics from the book, as well as software and utilities that help in the development of each project.
