The GREEN PC Builders’

Independence Course

* Enrollment Space Limited *

Fire your $150 per hour tech support geek!

Become computer independent!

Just a quick note....

Before enrolling, it is important to think honestly as to whether or not you are serious about becoming independent and making a GREEN contribution. Frankly, I don’t want to waste your time or mine.

The number of students that I can effectively work with during any given course schedule is severely limited. At certain times there will be no new courses scheduled, as the majority of my time will be dedicated to working with existing students, and doing in-person seminars.

With this in mind, I can only encourage you to enroll immediately. Right now I have openings available.

However, should you delay, when you do respond, there may be a waiting list, and you may have to wait for months.

When you build your own computer, you gain a unique understanding of the technology from the inside-out. 

Some of the mystery fades away. You realize “if I can build it, I can fix it!”

You discover where to look for potential problems. And where not to.

By learning through this on-going process, you become more responsible and confident, and less reliant on others for technical support.

Obviously, once you have carefully built your own system, you have the opportunity to perform your own future upgrades. Minor, like adding memory, or major like changing the motherboard. 

You have control. You make those decisions.

By keeping your existing case, power supply, CD/DVD drives for a longer period of time, you become a more “eco-friendly” citizen.

Up-grade only the parts you need, when you need to.

Feel the feeling of this technical achievement! Just think of what you will have done! Not very long ago, this would have been un-dreamed of!

You will have this sense of pride for a long time!

Now, please bear with me, since I am not a professional ad writer.

But I do have an important message for you about

PC independence and getting GREEN!           So, here goes…..

Introducing!

Now, remember, this is a course! What you get are actual lessons! All thoughtfully prepared by me. Based on all my years of building and teaching others to build. I personally review each and every lesson answer. No "mass production" here. Obviously, enrollment really is limited, because of my personal approach.

More details on the lessons and methods in the FAQ.

All 16 lessons are included in the Independence Course binder.

The Newsletter Reference binder will hold future newsletters. Forthcoming newsletters are expected out about every 6-8 weeks. Binder comes with first issue.

This photograph shows our favorite aluminum case with the front bezel removed. The right side is also removed.

The open bay near the top front of the case is ready to accept the optical drive. The manual shows how to install and connect the drive.

Near the middle of the case is the large exhaust fan. This pulls heated air from inside the case, and forces it out through special vertical side vents on the front sides.

At the bottom is the 500 Watt Earthwatts power supply, just installed. Again, the manual shows exactly how this is done.

Note that the power supply has its own separate fan.

In this photo, the CPU cooling fan is being carefully snapped down onto the motherboard.

Text and other photos and illustrations in the manual show how in more detail.

The long yellow and black slots toward the front of the photograph are for the memory modules.

In many cases you can actually read the part numbers right off the components!

Here’s some sample pages… 

Note the detail available in the over-sized photographs.

Each step is clearly identified.

After just 4 short weeks, you will have completed your 16 lessons. Not only will you have gained specialized knowledge and confidence, you are then awarded your first certificate!

The first one is for completion of The GREEN PC Builders’ Independence Course.

It will be sent to you after you complete the 16 lessons. It looks like this.

Imagine your name on the certificate instead of Sahara’s!

The second one is for actually building your own PC.

It will be sent to you after you have mailed or emailed a photo of yourself alongside the PC you just built. It looks like this.

Imagine your name on the certificate instead of Joe’s!

Gorgeously printed with your name on parchment paper. Embossed gold seal, stamped with U-Build-It Computer Seminars imprint.

And, yes these deluxe frames are included!

You get not one certificate, but two!

• Independence Tool Kit CD
  

Contains 27 of my favorite tools and utilities.

Also included...

• 3 Personal phone consultations
  

At pre-arranged times, you will have 3 separate 30 minute calls with me. Good for 1 year from date of enrollment. Use for planning your personal build, guidance, or troubleshooting.

• Private email access to me for 1 year
  

You will be given access to my private support email address. This address is only available to those enrolled in the GREEN PC Builder’s Course. Email me as much as you want for the entire year.

• The GREEN PC Builders' Newsletter
  

I personally subscribe to a number of technical and GREEN resources. I try to absorb all that I can as to what's important and relevant to GREEN PC builders. Then I send that information out in the form of my newsletter. I try to get one out every 6-8 weeks.

Not available anywhere else! At any price!

I would say it’s a safe bet there is no one anywhere, with similar experience, providing a course like this. And it’s unlikely there will be anyone else. Ever!

Can you imagine trying to find anyone else who has been actually building PCs for 24 years? And then, what are the odds of that someone offering a course where you could learn from all those years experience? Slim to none. 

Yes, this rare course is reassuringly expensive

And it should be. Here’s why.....what you get is me and my experience.

Here’s what I paid for my “training and experience”. At the very least, more than $2,000,000 in hardware of all kinds. Probably another $1,000,000 in software.

Just about every type of case, motherboard, and power supply in the history of the PC. Intel and AMD CPUs. MFM, ESDI, RLL and SCSI, IDE hard drive technologies. Hercules video cards to ATI and nVidia. All versions of DOS. All versions of Windows.

My first CD ROM drive was a Panasonic with its own controller – paid almost $600 for it!

Fried RAM? Yup! Mistakes? I’ve made them all! So you won’t have to!

Then add the 30 years involvement in this fascinating industry.

I think you’ll agree the price of this course is a bargain at just $1,497!

Loaded with all my personal trouble-shooting and problem-solving secrets. Tips and prevention techniques. Best practices. Do's and don’ts. My 30 years of experience can make you independent!

  Got questions? 

  How about the Guarantee?

This is called risk-reversal. I remove the risk from you, and I take the risk!

A friend of mine told me not to give a guarantee like this! He said some people will take advantage and abuse the offer. He said on the 364th day some people will want a refund after using all the material. Even after they have built their own PC!

Yes, that could happen. But I’m not worried.

Almost all of my life I have been in business. A number of businesses. I have found most people are basically honest, and will not take advantage of others.

And after having worked at my church for the past 8 years, I have even more faith and trust in people!

Now, here's my closing thoughts...

Want to know what I'm really looking for? Where do I want to go with this "GREEN Independence" thing? 

I'd love to work with a few sincere people each month, until I reach a point where my teaching/coaching agenda is full.

At that point, I would hope that some of those I've worked with will have enjoyed the experience, and feel the responsibility to encourage others to build, and build GREEN.

That's what I would ideally like to see.

When it comes to teaching others to build PCs, I've sometimes been called "opinionated" - and that's OK. If you have been doing this as long as I have, you might be called the same thing!

When coaching others, I have also been called "the stern parent". And that's OK too. That just means I care.

I feel that those who can build their own machines and don't, are really missing out.

And as to that "GREEN thing", time for us to wake up and smell the coffee!

Enough said.

Every GREEN PC counts!

Just Build It!
