Computer cases have 3.5 and 5.25 inch bays to place storage devices and optical drives (and other components) respectively. Although you can put a hard drive anywhere in the case, it is good to find one that has enough bays for your needs.

It will make your life easier if you are able to find a “tool-less” case. Instead of using screws (which often come hellishly tight) they use pull outs and thumb screws.

Cataloging and Purchasing the Parts

Choosing an OS

Before you get started choosing your parts, you should decide what operating system suits you best (i.e. Windows, Linux or OS X). In depth discussion on the best operating system is beyond the scope of this book. However, consider that Linux and OS X tend to run faster than Windows on slower computers, so they are the best choice for a low-end PC. If you are building a “hackintosh” – a non-Apple computer that runs OS X – then you will be limited to the parts that it is compatible with.
