I never thought that this assignment would be as much fun as it was. I have never taken pictures of my computer before. Seeing some of the slide shows and watching some of the videos on building computers, installing memory, etc, really inspires me to do more. The videos we had to watch were, let's say, a little dry.
I realize that it's just a machine, now how sexy can that be? But I really do have fun working with the computer and it's components. Wow, you'd think I would actually know how to build one then too, right?!? WRONG! I can't build one...yet. :)
The research that we're working on now will definitely help me understand the computer components much better. Knowing what a processor does and what it looks like will help us all know how a computer works and how to possibly replace a part if it goes bad. Just think, if our hard disk drive all of sudden stops working, won't it be more cost effective to know how to replace it yourself? Taking the computer into a repair store may cost hundreds of dollars, in addition to the cost of a new hard drive. Now, it can be without taking it in and it will cost you less. Maybe you can use that little extra you'll save and put it towards a better quality or higher storage capacity hard drive.
Pretty fancy lookin' computer, Josh! :)

ReplyDeleteYes it does. And it is something you can do for well under that cost. And quite easy, as long as you know your system specs.
I am impressed with your enthusiasm.
