Computer Build Group #04

Class 7 Computer Build 2008

The crew!

Welcome to compower's (group 4) web page! When you explore this site, you will find the many things we do and use to make a computer!



Here are some vidoes to help you understand the functions and importance of each part of a computer!

That was a video on the hard drive and cd player!

That was a video on the power supply and video card!



Here are the steps we used to make a computer:



  • Put processor on motherboard

  • Put heat sync fan on top of processor

  • Install motherboard

  • Put in floppy drive

  • Install the hard drive

  • Connect cables to the motherboard

  • Attach IDE cables to the CD then to the floppy

  • Attach IDE (Ribbon Cables) to the motherboard

  • Connect the cable from the power supply to the hard drive and the floppy drive

  • Tuck away cables

  • Connect cables from heat sync fan to the motherboard

  • Insert sound card

  • Insert ethernet card

  • Insert video card

  • Screw all cards to the case (hexagonal screws)

  • Bring your finished computer to the front table for inspection. A member of the Tech Team will check your work by connecting it to a moniter and (trying to) turn it on and work the different applications.




    • On the first day we built the computer for the first time, with help from the teachers. On the second day we built a computer for the first time by ourselves and then the teachers broke one part in the computer and we had to figure out which part it was and fix it. If our group fixes it first we win a surprise in the afternoon and we our taken on a morning trip to Techserve to learn more about computers and each parts function.

    Here are more pictures taken throughout the build!















    Here we are with our finished computer! Yay!
