Let's get one thing clear from the start: This is not a guide on how to build a "girly computer." If you're hoping to find a list of pink PC components or information on how to bedazzle the crap out of a PC case, you might as well stop reading. My girlfriend of more than three years, Glenda, hates that stuff.

She is, as I'm sure many significant others of people who read this site are, a self-professed computer geek. More than most, even. She doesn't need any help getting things done in Windows. She's not afraid to change a registry entry or two. She loves video games—PC or console—and wants some fairly beefy hardware. The only problem is, she's not into hardware. She knows what all the important parts are, but she doesn't have an interest in PC components and certainly holds no romantic ideals about building her computer herself. Maybe you can relate?
