This site will be dedicated to Building and maintaining PC health. If there are any issues and fixes anyone would like to see on this site feel free to email me at bjoslin@1pcbuilder.com.

I will do my best to hit XP, Vista, and windows 7 issues, tips, and modding walkthroughs.

Also, i will add links to all the programs and websites that i talk about.

BUILDING

Building a PC from scratch can become a time consuming project.

The first thing you must consider in any build is what you intend to use it for. This will judge the over all cost. What OS are you going to want and will it be 32bit or 64bit. There are a lot of different aspects in creating the right rig for what you want it to be able to do. I will be adding some build walkthroughs and parts specs as i go along. I also have a lot of software that i will be linking in as well.

Maintenance

Keeping your PC in top running shape is a relatively easy task with routine updates and safe browsing habits. dusting every once in a while doesn’t hurt either. I found a few programs that help very well with the malware and virus threats that are more than abundant on the Internet. There are also a few windows standard apps and settings that help keep your PC in top running shape.

Customizing

Thankfully the days of the cookie cut out PC are long gone. No more plain white boxes. There are so many different way to make your PC an original creation. Between Software and hardware the possibilities are endless. I’ve done a good amount of customizing on both ends and found a lot of software and hardware tricks. And I’m willing to share them all.

Graffix Corner
