I agree with most of the responders here. We need more hardware howto articles. After all, a computer is much like an automobile. If you know how to fix it when it breaks it can last a very long time. It's unfortunate that many people treat computers like appliances and when something goes wrong with it, they discard it and buy a new one and repeat the same doomed cycle over again when their original PC was fine with a little TLC.

It had a semi-decent set of crimpers, 100 feet of cable, a bag of rj-45 heads, and a so-so cable tester. Wired connections are the way to go if you want guaranteed connectivity. It's more secure, too. I’ve wired my house using a $99 CAT-5E kit I bought from Tiger a few years ago.

I remember this day on my first networking class, but I already new how to do it so I was a teacher that day :P I can cut, strip, put the wires in order, put a end up and crimp it all in about 15-20 seconds. When you have to run a lot of a cable from one hub room to the next, it takes a while you know. Having the ability to do it really fast, can save a ton of time! Great post! The only thing I don't have in my arsenal is one of those testers that can be used more than just testing a cable. Very detailed instructions.
