B.Y.O.C.

=B.Y.O.C= BUILD YOUR OWN COMPUTER

You are researching and building your computer of your dream (in theory). You will need to list to all the parts of your computer, from the monitor down to the keyboard. You will be given a list of websites for resources, parts, and computer companies. When you get all the parts you need for your computer, compare it to a computer from a major company, which one is cheaper?

Assignment:
 * First**. DO YOUR RESEARCH. Check the resources sites. They have good information on what to buy, why, and what it does.
 * Second**. Start purchasing parts. List every part you are purchasing for your computer, state where you purchased it and price. Do not forget your software! When completed, you should have the complete cost of the computer at the bottom of the page with software and everything.
 * Third**. When you have B.Y.O.C, you can then find a comparable computer from the built sites (example: Dell & HP)and see which way is cheaper, better, or more powerful. Make sure it is comparable with not only the hardware, but software also. List what the computer has on another sheet with the complete price at the bottom.
 * Fourth**. Review your choice. Write a paragraph to explain which computer you choose and why.
