Groundbreaking Book Proves Building a 'Green'

PC is Not Only Possible, But Practical and Fun

BLUE RIDGE SUMMIT, PA--The proliferation of personal computers has led to
growing concern about harmful environmental effects, leading the EPA to
initiate its Energy Star Program mandating more "green," or low-wattage,
PCs. While manufacturers scramble to build more green PCs, high prices
have scared off many environmentally responsible computer users. Now,
there is an alternative. In Build Your Own Green PC, readers will learn
how to assemble a computer that's easy on the environment and their
wallet.

With a friendly, accessible style, Wallace Wang's unique guide leads
readers by the hand through the entire process of constructing an
environmentally friendly PC. Beginning with a list of required tools, he
provides step-by-step assembly instructions and a wealth of helpful line
drawings. There also are checklists to help readers select the right
equipment, shopping forms to help them choose from among seemingly similar
products, and a list of green computing equipment sources.

In this path-breaking guide, Wang tells not only how to assemble a PC, but
a complete green system, including monitor and printer. Specifically, he
covers:

* Motherboards   * Monitors     * Hard and floppy drives
* Ports          * Modems       * Power supplies
* Sound cards    * Printers     * CD-ROM drives
* Input devices  * RAM          * And more...
