Well Im not gunna answer your HOW question because its allllllllllllllllllllllllll over the board, and even the internet, Just do a search and you'll get 10x the information you'll get in one thread of your own.

I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents that if power is what you want, TPI is NOT the way to go.
