FINISHED COMPUTER!

2008-06-24T10:45:00.001-07:00

Getting our Case

2008-05-31T07:45:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of our case before we take the side off.

This is what the inside looks like. To take the side off you have to push in a little thing and then pull out.

Putting in the CDROM and the Hard Drive

2008-05-28T09:19:00.000-07:00

This is what the front of the computer looks like after the metal thing is out.

This shows us putting in the CDROM. To do this we had to pop out a little metal thing and then slide the CDROM into the place where the metal thing was. Then we had close a little door that was on the side and lock it in.

This shows us putting in the hard drive. To do this we had to slide the drive in and then screw it into the computer.

This is what the inside of the computer looks

like after the Hard drive is in.

Installing the Motherboard

2008-05-26T08:42:00.000-07:00

This is the Motherboard before we put it in the computer.

This is another picture of the Motherboard. To put it into the computer we had to make sure all of the holes were lined up with the holes in the computer. Then we had to screw it in using the screws that came with the computer.

We had to make sure the motherboard fit into these spots.

Putting in the CPU and the RAM

2008-05-24T07:31:00.000-07:00

The CPU

This video shows how to open the little spot where you put the CPU.

This video shows us putting in the CPU. The CPU is a small chip. To put it in we had to make sure the notch on the CPU and the thing it was going in matched up. Then we put it down, making sure not to touch the bottom, and closed up the little thing where the CPU goes.

This is the heat sink fan that goes over the CPU. To put this on we had to make sure it went the right way. Then we had to push down all of the little knobs around it to make sure it didn't fall out. After that we had to plug it into the motherboard.

The Memory RAM

This video shows us putting in the Memory RAM. To do this we had to slide the RAM into a certain spot. Then we had to push the little knobs down to secure it to the motherboard.

This is what the Memory RAM looks like after it is hooked into the motherboard.

Wiring

2008-05-22T09:08:00.000-07:00

To get the computer all wired we had to plug power into the Motherboard, CD-ROM, Fans and Hard drive. Then we had to connect CD-ROM and Hard drive to the Motherboard. After that we connected the Front Buttons to the Motherboard-Power, Reset, LEDs.We also had to connect the Front USB and Audio cables to the motherboard. The last thing we did was clean up the wiring with Zip Tiles.

Starting up the Computer

2008-05-20T04:42:00.000-07:00

This week we turned on our computers. The first time we did, we kept the side open so we could make sure everything was plugged into where it was suppose to be. Then we turned the computer on and tested it a few times to make sure when you turn it off it will turn back on. Then we had to put a CD in so we could install the operating system WinXP and waited it to download and finish with the formatting and everything.

Watching Videos

2008-04-14T09:03:00.000-07:00

This week in class we watched 'How it is Made Computers, Processors, and CDs. After we watched the videos, we had to answer questions about what we learned on Mr. Kelley's blog.

Finding a Computer Case

2008-03-03T09:15:00.000-08:00

Today in class we found out: What you need to consider when buying a computer case:
>color
>size (shape)
>windows
>fans
>lites
>display
>ports (USB, Audio)
>How many CDRom's-Internal, External
>Mother board-you need a Micro Atx at least
>Materials-Aluminum, Metal, steel, Metal
