Was a hit gift for my nephew

An IT pro myself, I have a 13 yr old nephew who was clamoring to build a system. I already liked one of this author's hardware books quite a lot so I decided to order this book for a project I could do with my nephew. Once he got it, he complained because his dad had already gotten him a Dummies version and hated it. But we both liked this title quite a bit better. I liked that Chsae gave hardware component alternatives especially. The Visual format made it very easy for my not-a-careful reader nephew while it was intelligently written for me who does like to read besides just looking at the pictures.
