Building a cheap computer can be a real fun project. I remember buying a Commodore 64 (that dates me, huh?) and taking it apart the first night to see how it worked. Well, there wasn't much to see for sure. But, that little cheap computer started me on a quest and I graduated first in my computer school program just a couple years later. I have been loving cheap computers ever since. I love Apple, no doubt. I have no quarter against those pretty well running machines. But I don't know what I would do without my handy blue error screen. Cheap computer parts used to have all sorts of configurations right on them like jumpers and switches. Just getting those computer parts to work was a challenge. And the memory came on separate little DIP chips you installed yourself in their little sockets.

My first cheap computer was an AT I built in my condo. I thought it was the kiss of love at the time but by today's standards it didn't really do squat. But, back then, it had a color Hyundai monitor and programs that worked--usually. Microsoft Windows came on a high stack of 1.44 floppy disks and seemed to take hours to install but it was grand.

You can start your own cheap computer adventure right here. Build a computer yourself or just upgrade and enjoy the satisfaction of opening up the case and getting it done yourself. Who knows? With the way technology is going today it may be totally obsolete in a few years. Laptops and tablets are taking over and making the "portable" desktops of the past just that--in the past. Have fun with your cheap computer parts and impress your friends with your high tech knowledge and dirty fingers and memories of funny exasperation. You will find all you need here to build your affordable computer and add on to what you already.

BIOS Password? What is that?

Did you know you can access the BIOS on your motherboard? And moreover, did you know you can set a password for this BIOS? Before changing your BIOS password there are few things to consider.

First, what is the BIOS anyway? BIOS is an acronym for basic input/output system. It is the built-in software that determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk or other storage device. On PCs, the BIOS contains all the code required to control the keyboard, display screen, disk drives, serial communications, and a number of miscellaneous functions.

The BIOS is typically placed in a ROM (Read Only Memory) chip that comes with the computer (it is often called a ROM BIOS). This ensures that the BIOS will always be available and will not be damaged by disk failures. It also makes it possible for a computer to be self-bootable. Because RAM (Random Access Memory) is faster than ROM, though, so many computer manufacturers design systems so that the BIOS is copied from ROM to RAM each time the computer is booted. This is known as shadowing.

Many modern PCs have a flash BIOS. This means that the BIOS has been recorded on a flash memory chip, which can be updated if necessary. Software can be downloaded from a manufacturer and burned to the ROM.

The PC BIOS is fairly standardized, so all PCs are similar at this level (although there are different BIOS versions). Additional DOS (Disk Operating System) functions are usually added through software modules. This means you can upgrade to a newer version of DOS without changing the BIOS.

PC BIOSes that can handle Plug-and-Play (PnP) devices are known as PnP BIOSes, or PnP-aware BIOSes. These BIOSes are always implemented with flash memory rather than ROM.

Now, back to the password issue. The password you set is recorded in the computer’s non-volatile memory along with other system settings. When you start your computer, you are prompted to type the password in to continue.

The first problem with BIOS passwords is that people forget them. This is bad. The second problem is that motherboard manufacturer’s  have made it simple to reset or work around the password making the password relatively useless.

The summary: Don’t set a BIOS password is you don’t need to. Think to yourself—who is going to try to access my BIOS in the first place. Have you even accessed your BIOS? Anyway, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
