Step 1:
Getting started
Traditional tower PCs are fine if you have room to spare, but just try shoehorning one into your entertainment center. A small-form-factor (SFF) PC fits almost all the power and versatility of a full-blown desktop into a much smaller package. Here we show you how to construct a dazzling SFF PC that's compact and powerful yet living-room stylish.
We started with a bare-bones setup, with the motherboard and the power supply already installed, and added a processor, a DVD burner, and a hard drive.
