Part 2 - Case and Motherboard screws


The first task to is to remove the sides from your case and proceed to screw in the motherboard gold screws on which the motherboard will be secured.

Part 3 - The motherboard



 This is a motherboard and will sit ontop of the gold input screws you just screwed in once the motherboard has been seated and is lined up with the screw holes you need to screw the motherboard into the gold input screws you just put in. this will then secure the motherboard to the case.

 The hard disc drive Sits in one of the tower screw holder slots to the right hand side of the case above^.
It takes four screws to hold it in place and needs a power cable and a data transfer cable such as Sata or an older version of moving data is good.

This is the part of the computer you install your OS system too.
Part 4 - CPU/Processor


The cpu comes in its own individual box and is carefully packaged to make sure no damage comes to the CPU as it is packaged.


First of all you have to release the holding mechanism for the seating by moving the piece of metal to one side then you can lift the casing and place the CPU in the slot.
then you have to place the casing over the top of the CPU and move the metal lever to the locked position.

Part 5 - DVDR drive


The next step is to place in the DVDR drive, it slots straight in the front with no fuss and takes four screws, two on each side of the PC.

This hardware requires power and a data cable to function properly and will write all your discs so that you place information onto a variety of Compact discs.
Part 6 - RAM (Random access memory)
