Clone Computers: build one

how to build a clone one

build one section:

In this tutorial i will show you how to build and install a clone computer. i am going to

split this tutorial into two parts building the computer and also installing the operating system.

if you are using this tutorial to figure out how to build a computer just read the first part about

building a computer because building any computer is fundamentally the same but installing

CloneOS is not being that our OS is installed by using clonezilla not by means of a normal

install disk. if you are building a clone computer than i suggest that you read the whole thing.

building the computer the first thing you must do when building the computer i buy the

parts. the cost of buying parts for Clone one it will most likely be about 250 to 270 dollars of

course if you do not what to use the exact parts that we do feel free. when your parts arrive

make sure that you do not open them on a carpeted area or any thing that will create static

electricity try to stay grounded at all times you can do this by taping you computer case from

time to time. also when looking for pins on your motherboard please reference your

motherboard manual. once you have done this open up your case and open up your

motherboard. you will notice that there are four holes on your motherboard and four holes in

you computer case. before you place your motherboard you must install you io panel you do

this by pushing it into the rectangle opening at the back of the case. now that you have done

that you can screw in the motherboard using the screws you got from your computer case.

now you must connect the build in power supply to the motherboard take the large 20

smaller 4 pin extender and connect it to the 24 pin connector on the motherboard. now take

the other 4 pin connector or the CPU power and connect it to the 4 pin power socket on the

motherboard from here in you can reference your motherboard manual and you computer

case manual. if you are still confused than you can use the video at the bottom of the page to

help you.

now for installing CloneOS. installing CloneOS is the tricky part being that we do not

package CloneOS as a normal bootable iso file you can not just simply install CloneOS from

an install disk. instead of doing this we use clonezilla and a disk image of CloneOS which

you can download form us the first thing you must do is to download clonezilla and burn it to

a CD (in this tutorial i assume that you know how to burn an iso). then you must download

the CloneOS clonezilla image from our web site which you are so conveniently at right now.

once CloneOS is finished downloading put it on a thumb drive or any other kind of external

usb media. now take you newly finished Clone computer and start it up and open the optical

drive and load you clonezilla CD into it then plug in your thumb drive into one of the BACK

usb ports on your clone. now simply follow the onscreen instructions to restore you computer

form an image save (the image save being the CloneOS image). once that is done you are

ready for your first boot when you startup your computer and you get to the login manager

select the user account the default password for CloneOS is “clone” once you are logged in

you now may bask in the glory of your new computer and give yourself a pat on the back for

building it yourself. have fun!!!
