MY GRAD PROJECT By

Matthew Soltys

Computer Service and Repair

5/20/14

The First step was to order the parts that the

customer wanted.

Now, we got the parts “lets start the build”

This is me getting the motherboard ready for

the CPU and putting in the CPU

Then, I got the CPU fan in and the RAM in to.

Once I was done with that, I put the cover plate

for the motherboard in the case.

Then the stand offs for the mother went in.

After, The motherboard went in.

And screwed into place

Now, The power and font panel connecters get

plugged into the motherboard.

This is very INPORTANT, when you do a

custom build you must have good wire

management.

Reasons For Good Cable Management

You're ensuring that stray wires or cables don’t touch the

fans. (Fans can also burn out this way.)

You can improve airflow throughout the case, so that the

entire system remains cool and stable.

Good cable organization allows you to find the wire or

cable you need when you have to unwind them to change

out a component

Now the CD-ROM and Hard Drive plus the

video card goes In!

Now they all get plugged in to the motherboard.

Now after this in all done, the OS has to be

installed.

Now the install is done

After windows 7 professional was installed and

activated I had to install the drivers for

• Nic card (on board)

• Chipset (on board)

• Audio (on board)

• Video (External Card)

After the drivers are done, then comes the

100+ updates.

All done
