A couple of weekends ago my older brother wanted a high performance computer and he decided to buy the parts desperately and assemble it himself so he can customize it. I had nothing better to do so i decided to give him a hand. The first step was to install the cpu and the fan to the motherboard. The fan, which is the large circular shaped metal part in the picture, works by using a metal heat sink to draw the heat away from the cpu. It has a large surface area and a fan to keep the cpu cool and prevent overheating. The motherboard itself has over 80 capacitors, most of them were small but there were a few larger ones. We then installed the motherboard into the computer case. Next step was the graphics card. All of the circuit boards came in a metallic coated bag,shown in the picture, which prevents any static electric charge from destroying any of the electronic components. this happens because of Faraday cage which disperses any current around the outside while keeping the inside completely unaffected by any charge. After we installed the memory ram and the hard drives. The hard drives have an electromagnet so we had to make sure it did not come close to a strong magnet which would have messed up the hard drive. All the was left was to connect all the wiring and the power supply and all the small components. The end product is a high performance custom computer.
