I have a few small updates to the site. A few menu options and linking pages have been redone. I am also curnetly redoing the Glossary and Links section so parts of it may not look correct for the time being.
18th April 2007 - New Guides:
I have now finished the ImgBurn guide I was working on. It's quite long as I have gone through most options in the program. I have also completed a short guide on Nero Burning Rom. Because this program is so big I have only covered how to burn a disc, so its aimed the newbies to burning. I'll try to get around to doing more of it at some stage. I have also finished some more guides for buying a Pen Drive, Monitor and Digital Camera.
9th April 2007 - Updates:
Currently updating a number of buying guides as well as adding another 11 in total on various computer things. I also have a further 6 guides in various stages of completion, so hopfully over the next few weeks I can get them all finished and uploaded.
2nd March 2007 - New Guides:
Added a several new guides to the site. The first one is a way to reduce the size of your Windows Vista installation and it is called vLite. The second is also another Windows Vista guide but this time on how to get it to install from a USB Pen Drive. The third and forth guides are both on programs that can provide you with information on your computer hardware and software. The first being CPU-Z which allows to to check out your CPU, Motheboard and Memory information and the other being Belarc Advisor which is a more generic overview of your system hardware and software. Also for those wanting to know about the missing pages like the Glossary, the reason they havn't returned yet is that I am looking at other ways of putting the information onto the site so that it is easier to update. It will return though.
1st March 2007 - General:
In other news I am looking to ways of setting up the Computer News section as I see a few of you are clicking on the link expecting to find something. I currrently trying out a program called Word Press to see if I can use it within the site to keep everything together all nice and neat and tidy. Still need to play around with it a little to get a few things how I want them.
15th Febuary 2007 - Updates:
Updated a couple of the buying guides with more information along with fixing a few spelling mistakes. Hopefully things should all be working now. Thanks too those who contacted me regarding a few things that weren't working. More guides and information will be added as I get around to completing them.

Added more bits to the Partition Magic 8 section and redid the GameJackal guide for the latest and last version.
2nd Febuary 2007 - Update:
A few things have been reported not working. Please keep the emails coming so that I can fix any problems that I have caused. Also a few pages have been simply copied over from the old website and so as of yet don't quite look right. These will be updated over time.
2nd Febuary 2007 - A New Look Website:
A new year and now a new look to the site. I hope you prefer it to the old grey scheme. It's taken some time to swap everything over which is why nothing major has happened for a while. But don't fret, i'm currently working on some more updates to the site. If you have anything else that you think should be here then please email me you ideas. If you see anything that is wrong with the site such as links not working or pictures not showing up please let me know.
11th December 2006 - Updates Galore:
It's been a little while since my last update but now here are lots of updates for the price of one. I have now added another way to patch your Windows system. This program is called AutoPatcher and it can also do a few other things to your system to make it better. I have also added another program to the SlipStreaming section. This one is called nLite and this too offers you more choice when making your new slipstreamed disc. I have finally added the Benchmarking section which can be found under Extras. This shows you how to perform the tests from several different programs including Aquamark 3, 3DMark and PCMark. All are designed to see how good your system is. I hope to add a few more programs to this section soon too. Also Included in this update are two short guides on X-Fire and GameShadow. Both are used to improve your game playing experience and can be found under Game Utilities also under Extras.
11th November 2006 - Movies Uploaded:
I have added a few movies onto the site regarding how to fit certain devices into your computer. I have created Processor, Internal Cables, Ram, Thermal Paste and Fan and finally one on installing your Video Card. Hopefully these should help if you are not 100% sure in how to fit the items in. They range from about 1mb to 4.5mb in size so are not the best quality but I had to try to keep the size down. They do require DivX to be installed which should happen when you click on the movie to be played or navigate to the page in FireFox.
8th November 2006 - Updates:
Updated the Troubleshooting page with more information. This was asked for as I hadn't included enough information on what to do when the fault was diagnosed. I'll continue to add more informationto this page to make sure it keeps on getting better. Thanks to everyone who has clicked on the Advertising Banner or donated a little something. Please keep on clicking as it will pay for the site hosting along with bandwidth for you all to view the site. Still got quite away to go to pay for this years let alone next years. If you have any other ideas or suggestions remember to Contact me with them.
24th October 2006 - Updates:
Updated alot of pages along with the Search page so that it now works. Hopefully this should help you find what you are looking for. If you think that the site is missing some information on a page then please Contact me. I can only make it better by knowing what you want to read.
1st October 2006 - More Pages:
I have now finished off a few more pages across the site along with some updates to pages that people have emailed in about . Thanks to those that have.
15th September 2006 - BuyItBuildItUseIt Lives!!!!!
The site goes live. Hopefully everything is correct and works properly. If you notice anything not working or you think something is wrong then please drop me an email and tell me about it. My email can be found at under Contact. There are a few sections that have a "Coming Soon" notice on the page. This means that I am still working on that section. I decided to launch the site as the main parts were complete. You may notice a few strange picture on some pages. These are simply placeholders for me to come around and replace when I have found something suitable. The additional parts will be added as soon as time permits me to finish them off. There is some information in the additional sections but not everything is there. To see what is available check out the Site Map.
